Donating love-filled baby loss care boxes.
Love From Penny & Lyla provides Care Boxes to Canberra Hospitals, for parents who have experienced the loss of their precious baby, at any stage.
Our goal is to ensure that parents suffering the loss of a baby, from early pregnancy through to neonatal death, feel cared for and less alone at what can be such a traumatic and heartbreaking time.

Our story
I’m really glad you’re here. I’d love to share a bit about how Love From Penny & Lyla came to be.
I'm married to Duncan, and together we have two beautiful girls, Penny and Lyla. Sadly we only get to hold the girls in our hearts, not in our arms. We lost Penny to miscarriage at 13+4 weeks in 2022, and Lyla shortly after she was born at 23+1 weeks in 2023.
'Love From Penny & Lyla' is a way to share our babies with the world, to make sure their memories live on, and in a way, to parent from afar. It's a great comfort to be able to pass on the love that Penny and Lyla have brought to us, to others who need it in their darkest hours.
Our mission
To provide support, comfort and connection to families who have lost a baby during pregnancy or early infancy.
To ensure grieving families know they are not alone.
MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Why Give?
Sadly, support to bereaved parents is insufficient, including in the Canberra region.
While there are wonderful national organisations providing support through Canberra hospitals, there isn’t enough for everyone, and many parents leave hospital without receiving any support.
Help us ensure they don’t slip through the cracks.
Love From Penny & Lyla is the only organisation in the Canberra region offering this type of support.
All donations make a difference, and we are grateful for donations of any amount. Donating the cost of two daily coffees will cover the cost of a beautiful memorial candle.
- $80 will cover the cost of a Butterfly Care Bag
- $170 will cover the cost of a Luca Care Box
Donations in memory
Donate a box in memory of a loved one
If you’d like to donate the cost of a whole box, we would be honoured if you’d like to donate in memory of someone special.
Our entire project is based around the principle of acts of kindness in the name of loved ones who are no longer with us. It’s about sharing love, compassion, and connection with others when they need it.
We are honoured to share the names of those who have been lost so their impact lives on.
If you’d like to donate a care box in memory of a loved one, please donate the cost of a box ($170) and then contact us with your details and what you’d like written on the card, so we can include it with the box.
