Honour the memory of your loved one, why not give a Gift of Hope to another family?
Every Gift Of Hope that is donated or sponsored is sent with a special gift tag attached to each journal with the wording
" Donated in Honour of" or "Donated in Memory of"

I'm so very thankfull for Yasminahs Gift of Hope journals, I can write to my Angel babies, and have them memories to keep forever. Also it gives something for my boys to look at and even write in to remember our Angels.
THANK YOU so very much from my heart Bec, your little Angel is so very proud of all the work her mummy does to help other families who sadly share the hurt and sad times. xxxxx
