Our Therapy Support Program criteria has expanded 💜

You can now apply up to two years after the loss of an infant, child or teen.

We understand that grief doesn't follow a timeline and that it doesn't get easier just because time passes. You shouldn't have to reach out when you're not quite ready, to be eligible for support. Whenever you're ready, we want to be here.

If you're a bereaved parent in Western Australia who has experienced the loss a child in the last two years, you may be eligible for up to $1,000 toward counselling or psychology services, with no upfront cost required.

For more information or to apply, visit thealiyahmaefoundation.com.au or send us a message 🌈

Peer support is such an incredibly valuable support to families like ours and that’s exactly why The Aliyah Mae Foundation Exists along side these other incredible organisations - because we get it. We know what it’s like to walk into an empty home that once wasn’t. We know what it’s like to not fit any of the boxes for support and to feel alone in our grief. So much so that none of us ever wanted another family to feel the kind of loneliness we did. That’s why we exist 💜

Pam, while we wish you didn’t have a reason to be here with us, we are so so grateful to have you by our side advocating for families when they need it most 🌈

Over the last few months, I’ve been introduced to four incredible women: Jess, Jess, Emma and Kelly .

We all share one thing in common. Our children ~ Aliyah Mae, Charlie, Ada, Faolan and Callum ~ are no longer with us earth-side.

These four women are part of something truly special. Through The Aliyah Mae Foundation Charlie and Friends Foundation and In Memory of You , they are each trying to make a difference for bereaved families.

In the childhood cancer world, we are so fortunate to have some amazing charities and support organisations doing great work. But there are still so many gaps, and too many families are left with little to no support, or support that only reaches so far. Something I became acutely aware of during my student placement at Perth Children's Hospital.

What struck me was that despite the five of us coming from different places and different experiences, we all seem to speak the same language: Peer Support (my kinda language).

Because regardless of your journey, speaking with someone who truly understands is priceless. There’s something very powerful about shared understanding and connection.

I haven’t started a charity or foundation myself. But I’ve had the privilege of standing alongside some amazing people and being involved in different ways. I sit behind the scenes (and sometimes on stage), advocating differently.

Voices can be incredibly powerful when we’re speaking the same language. And there really is room for all of us. Room for every voice. Every pathway. Every experience. Because we can learn so much from one another.

From every person trying to make things a little better for the families walking behind us.

Because when grief introduces you to people like this, you don’t compete.

You link arms. 🤍

I’m so grateful to these four women who are trying to fill some of those gaps, and I truly can’t wait to see what they do. 🤍

Today's the day 💜

Today, we run for every child gone too soon, for every family sitting beside a child in ICU, and for every parent who has had to leave hospital without their child.

To everyone who has joined our team, donated, shared our posts, or supported us in any way, thank you. Your support means more than we can put into words.

Every donation, big or small, helps The Aliyah Mae Foundation continue showing up for families when life is at its most unbearable, through ICU Care Packs, grief counselling support, peer connection, advocacy, and practical resources for families navigating the devastating loss of a child.

As part of International Volunteering week, we wanted to share some of the amazing volunteers behind The Aliyah Mae foundation, with you 🌈

🦋 Meet Yasmin 🦋

She is not only one our devoted directors, but is also extremely hands on behind the scenes, helping with day to day operations here at AMF. It’s safe to say we’d be lost without her!

When asked what volunteering meant to her, Yasmin shared this message:

“Volunteering is deeply important to me because I believe no family should feel alone during their hardest moments. Through The Aliyah Mae Foundation, I’ve seen how small acts of kindness and community support can bring comfort, dignity and hope to families navigating this challenging and difficult journey.”

Thank you for everything you continue to do for the AMF community Yasmin, you truly are one in a million and we are beyond lucky to have you as part of our team 💜

💜 Infant & Child Loss Support Group 💜

We recognise that different losses can carry different experiences and needs. This support group has been created to support families who have lost an infant, child or teen and may not feel that pregnancy loss spaces are the right fit for them.

Our next group will be held on Sunday 21st of June, 1–3pm.

This space is for parents and carers navigating the complex, exhausting, and often isolating reality of losing a child. There is no expectation to share, and no pressure to be anything other than where you are.

It will be a calm, welcoming afternoon with connection, understanding, tea, coffee and afternoon tea. A space to sit alongside others who understand the wild ups and downs of grief.

Please DM us for further details and to RSVP ✨
