🌤️ Donating love-filled care boxes to Canberra hospitals, to support baby loss parents

02/10/2026

💜 A few people have been asking how you can help, and what you can do to support us. Here’s how.

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month — a month set aside to say out loud what so many families carry in silence, every single day.

Baby loss touches more people than you’d think. Most just don’t talk about it. We started Love From Penny & Lyla so that when it happens, no parent has to face it alone — through care boxes and support delivered straight through Canberra hospitals.

This month, we need you, and it’s easier than you think:

☕ Host a simple event — a morning tea, for your friends, work colleagues, or even your gym. We’ll send you a full pack: host guide, flyers, social tiles, everything done for you.

You don’t need to be a bereaved parent to make sure one isn’t left standing alone. You just need to let people know about it, bring a plate and open a conversation.

Comment “HOST” and we’ll send you everything to get started.

Grief doesn’t come with a manual. But it does come with people who can help, if you know where to look.

Swipe through for 8 free, national support services for anyone affected by pregnancy or baby loss. Some are loss-specific, some cover mental health more broadly, one’s specifically for the dads and partners who often get forgotten - there’s likely one here for exactly where you’re at.

Red Nose Australia Red Nose Grief and Loss
Lifeline
Pink Elephants Support Network
Bears Of Hope Pregnancy & Infant Loss Support Australia
PANDA Australia
Griefline
MensLine Australia
Stillbirth CRE

You don’t have to go through this alone.

If you’re looking for someone local to you, or looking for peer support or a group, please DM and we will chat to our wonderful network of loss parents across Australia to try and help you find it.

📌 Save this post for when you need it (or someone you love does).

💬 Know a service we’ve missed? Drop it below - we’ll keep this list growing. We are also working on a Canberra/ACT region-specific list of support services.

Have you been wondering what we do? What we fundraise for? 🌤️

We have lots of new faces here. While I wish there was no need for this profile, I’m glad you found us.

We provide care boxes for parents whose baby has died, anytime during pregnancy or shortly afterwards. Our boxes are held in five different hospitals and clinics in Canberra, and are funded completely by donations, and the generous support of special businesses.

After lots of research and input from bereaved parents, we pack each of these items with love and care. Here’s what we include in our Luca Care Boxes, named for a precious little boy who didn’t get to stay.

Bridge to Brisbane what an incredible event! This was more than a run for me. It was about setting a goal, doing it for my girls, raising awareness, and raising much needed funds.

Huge thank you to everyone for your support and encouragement over the past couple of months since I set this goal, and thank you to the incredible ladies who joined the team and ran with me!

Donations are still open until 14 October, it’s not too late to donate if you haven’t had the chance! Link in bio.

Happy Father’s Day, to all the dads. To my Dad, my Dad-In-Law (the best Pop and Pops to our girls), and my darling husband, most loving Dad to our girls.

Dads play such an important role, whether they have living children or not. They are often the unsung heroes, the supporters, the doers, making the calls no one wants to make, doing everything for their family without a thought for themselves. So often the ones who hold it all together for everyone else.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads - whatever this day holds for you, happy or painful (sometimes a mix of both), we thank you.

✨ A baby loss care box has been donated in memory of Oliver.

Thank you to Oliver’s loving grandmother for making a special donation in his name, and for sharing him with us. A special note and box will be given to a grieving family in the Canberra area when they need it most, letting them know whey are not alone.

We are so excited to announce our first sponsor for Team Love From Penny & Lyla for the Bridge to Brisbane!

The beautiful ladies Kind Canberra are as generous and community oriented as they come. They have supported Love From Penny & Lyla with their gorgeous studio a number of times before, and are the first to help out our community. We are so grateful for their support, and their ongoing support to bereaved parents.

If you’ve ever felt invisible in your grief, there’s a reason for that. It’s not in your head. It’s in the data — or rather, the lack of it.

Nobody’s counting. And that’s exactly the problem.

Miscarriage. Stillbirth. TFMR. Neonatal death. Thousands of Australian families every year — and most of these losses aren’t formally recorded, tracked, or resourced.

Swipe through to see what the research actually says about pregnancy and baby loss right here in Canberra.
