Ladybird Care Foundation

🐞 August is Grief Awareness Month. A time shine a light on the many faces of grief, and to remind our community that no one should have to carry it alone.

This speaks so deeply to our mission at Ladybird Care. 🐞

Grief doesn't follow a timeline, and it doesn't look the same for any two people. Whether loss happened yesterday or decades ago, whether it's spoken about often or carried quietly – it is real and it is valid.

To every bereaved parent in our community – we see you, we honour you, and we stand beside you. Today and every day.

If you are a bereaved parent, knowing you have a connection with a Peer Mentor who has walked a similar path may help you feel there is a place you can turn to.

If our Peer Mentor Program is something you'd like to understand more about, please reach out.

Please note that we are not a crisis service. If you or someone you know needs urgent grief support, we recommend contacting:

📞 Griefline: 1300 845 745 (9am–8pm AEDT, 7 days a week)
📞 Lifeline: 13 11 14 (24-hour service)

Wow- our 2026 Gala was a wonderful evening with a shared vision of a community where every parent is supported after the death of a child.

We’re so grateful for the generosity showed on the night, however, if we’re honest, we fell $50,000 short of our fundraising target.

If you didn’t get a chance to give on the night or would like to support from afar, we’d appreciate your donation.

Your support will help us to reach our goal to train 30 new Peer Mentors, providing a companion to a bereaved parent when they most need it. Thank you!
