The hearts of some children only beat for a matter of weeks, others for many years.
However, when a child's heart stops beating the effect is always the same,
Little Angels Memory Boxes (LAMB) is an Australian charity that donates Memory Boxes and Memory Bags to hospitals for families who suffer the heartbreak of losing a baby or child. LAMB also offers support to families and hospital staff by working together with like-minded organisations and businesses that can assist families in creating and capturing as many memories as their hearts desire. With the 24 hour FREE phone support service, LAMB are able to assist and make all necessary appointments and phone calls on behalf of the family, allowing families more time to spend those final precious moments with their baby or child.
LAMB is committed to providing early bereavement support and long term support for families who suffer the heartbreaking experience of Pregnancy Loss, including miscarriage, stillbirth or premature birth, as well as the loss of an infant through neonatal death, congenital heart disease (CHD), SIDS, SUDIC, and also the death of a child up 16 years of age, including accidental death, teen suicide or childhood illness such as Leukemia, neurological disorders, cerebral palsy, cystic fibrosis and other rare childhood diseases.
LAMB is able to assist children who have been diagnosed with a terminal illness to capture and create memories for their families to cherish after their passing. This program is offered with the help of the palliative care support team in the hospitals and is currently being offered through Westmead Children's Hospital.
