Precious Wings is a local charity that are passionate about helping families who are faced with the devastating loss of their child. They supply Memory Boxes to hospitals in Brisbane and the Gold Coast and which are given to families who lose a baby of any gestation, and to families who lose a child up to the age of 16, regardless of cause of death. They also supply miscarriage memory bags to early pregnancy units and emergency departments and provide free education sessions to hospital staff about caring for bereaved families.
We had the privilege of coordinating Precious Wings’ annual Luncheon this year which raises funds to support the amazing work of Precious Wings. The event was held within the stunning W Hotel in Brisbane and was hosted by Those Two Girls who provided some much needed humour to the event. The afternoon involved delicious food, drinks, entertainment, thrilling auctions and reflection for the families supported by the work of Precious Wings.
Memory boxes hep families who have suffered the overwhelming loss of their baby or child by providing a place to keep precious items such as hand and foot prints or a lock of hair of their baby or child. The box and its contents reinforce the fact that their child existed and that he or she is loved and remembered. The boxes are often prepared by other bereaved families in memory of their own lost baby or child and contain gifts such as Forget Me Not seeds to be planted in memory of the little one and a scented candle for times of reflection in the future. These families understand the devastation that such a loss can bring and are therefore able to convey an enormous amount of love, hope and understanding with the giving of each memory box.
During the afternoon, guests had the opportunity to participate in a silent auction with items to be won from Aesop, Lululemon, Bed Threads, The Beach People and many more.
