Ladybird Care Foundation

Ladybird Care Foundation provides bereavement care that supports and empowers grieving families to find hope and purpose once again, creating pathways for healing.

Ladybird Care Foundation seeks to fill the gap in essential bereavement-care services by providing a peer mentoring program to support, care for and empower grieving families to find hope and purpose after the death of a child of any age. Ladybird recruits, trains and supports volunteer peer mentors, with lived experience, to become the human connection of support for parents, carers and extended family members who are newly bereaved.

2023 Pitch

Funds Raised: $32,100

Parents Wayne and Maree pitched together to raise funds to expand their peer mentor program to families living in rural and regional Queensland. This funding would be used to employ an indigenous specialist consultant for an additional 8 hours per  week and fund transport to regional and remote communities for face-to-face engagement.
