I'm fundraising for The Royal Hospital for Women Foundation
On 22 May 2021, at 4:44am, our beautiful girl, Harper Rose Patten, was born with Angel wings.
From the moment I laid eyes on her, I knew her life, albeit brief, would lead to something incredible and meaningful.
Right now, that begins with a gold star.
Harper was born at the Royal Hospital for Women in
Randwick. In the months leading up to her birth, the doctors, specialists and
midwives attended to us with such an incredible amount of compassion and
empathy. They supported us as we navigated countless ultrasounds, tests,
horrific anxiety, overwhelming information and crippling results.
The midwives who looked after me through my labour, who delivered our precious Harper with so much love and gentleness, and who visited me on my darkest days at home postpartum with empty arms, are walking angels on earth. I would not have survived both physically and emotionally through the birth and loss of our baby girl without their love and kindness.
The Royal Hospital for Women has a wall of Baby Stars in the hospital. Each star has the name of a baby born in the hospital, and is purchased making a donation to go towards the incredible care provided there.
Harper Rose will always be the brightest star in our lives. Physically, we ache for her every single day but in spirit we know she is destined to do incredible things.
This August, on her due date, instead of taking our baby girl home in our arms like we should have, we would instead like to visit the hospital and plant the brightest gold star of the entire wall with her name on it. We want to hand over the biggest donation amount the hospital has received for a gold star in our baby girls name.
We want her name to help support future families that attend the Royal Hospital for Women to receive the incredible care that we received. To go towards equipment and research that may help families navigating similar tragedy to us.
Donations are tax deductible, and we truly thank you from the bottom of our hearts for remembering our Angel and providing her with a special star.
With love, Craig, Jade and Harper Rose.
Thank you to my Sponsors

Nobody deserves this. I'm deeply sorry for your loss. Pain that is not transformed is transmitted. Lean on each other. Love each other. You are stronger together. Harper Rose, maybe we never would have met anyway. But you are loved and you are in my heart. Love eternally Uncle
