Unless you have lost a child and been faced with mortuaries and undertakers, you can never truly appreciate what a memory box would mean to a bereaved parent.

Brightest Star had made Memory Boxes for bereaved parents that include a blanket, two small teddies/hearts (one for the parent and one for the child) a camera, candle, an inkless kit to take the childs hand and feet prints and a small secure box to place a lock of the child hair. The charity also funds a voucher for the parents to receive a silver charm with their child's hand engraved print on it. We provide these free of charge to all families.

For the price of a Valentines Day card, flowers or chocolates, could you give the gift of love to a bereaved parent? You could pay towards a candle, love heart keepsake, teddy bear or hand in your heart key ring for one of our memory boxes.
