Lucia Craven

By Lucia Craven

In honour of Dorothy Rachel Craven, I’m fundraising to save little lives this August

My baby girl, Dorothy Rachel Craven, at 7 months gestation passed away. She didn't get to meet her parents, her sister, her cousins, her grandparents, her aunties/uncles or see the world for herself. I did however as her mum, get to hold her in my body as I felt her grow and grow. Then her Dad and I got to hold her for a few moments - she was so beautiful and at peace. Red Nose Day helps raise awareness and funds for research and support for all families affected by SIDS and unexplained infant/ child deaths in Australia. Although the loss of Dorothy's life wasn't unexplained and was inevitable - the support I received from Red Nose's Grief and Loss program was life saving. Their counselling service allowed me to connect with women who have experienced similar losses which provided much needed support and knowledge that I am not alone and eventually will learn to live with the grief.
I'd sincerely appreciate any support and/or donation you can offer. The work Red Nose does is truly life saving and imperative to the support families receive after losing the life of an infant/ child.
Thank you and I appreciate you all!

Red Nose Information below -
Every day, nine babies and children are lost suddenly or unexpectedly in Australia.
Some families only get minutes or days with their precious little ones. Others never get to see their child take their first breath.
I want to support parents that have experienced this unimaginable heartbreak, and raise funds to help save little lives – that’s why I’ve signed up for Red Nose Day this August.
Donate to my fundraiser now and you’ll help fund vital research that will save little lives – and provide counselling and support to families that have experienced the devastation of losing a precious baby or child.
I hope you’ll support me with a kind donation today, and help make the world a bright place for the little lives and their families that need it most.
