Fundraising

We would like to raise money to help other families who have lost a child.

The Wings of a Butterfly is a project that was born out of a desire to provide friendship, love, understanding, support and remembrance to anyone who is affected by the death of a child. It has grown to now become a non-profit organisation where our financial aim is help families of children who have died from a congenital heart defect (CHD).

CHD’s affect 1 in 100 children and are the number 1 cause of death in children. Having a child with a CHD puts emotional, physical and financial strain on the family. When a child dies from a CHD, usually it follows a period of hospitalisation. Things have already been pulled to stretching point and now they have to grieve for their beloved child; as well as plan their funeral.

The first thing a parent wants to do following the funeral is to erect a headstone. It is the single, most final thing they can do for their child. To have something permanent to mark that their child was here. An everlasting tribute.

Headstones can vary in cost, but most are in excess of £1,000. Coupled with financial strain from medical needs, bereavement, funeral costs – finding the spare money to put aside can be overwhelming.

Our aim is to provide financial assistance towards a headstone, for families who have lost a child to a congenital heart defect.

Our First Headstone was for Cerys and through a lot of generosity, her forever bed, gained a permanent tribute to her. Click here to see a picture of her headstone.

Personalised Graphics to Remember Your Angel

Each graphic is designed and made by us, all we need from you is a list of words that you would like used, the design you like, and colour choices. Everything else, is hand-picked by us and created into a wonderful masterpiece. You can be as vague or as specific as you like, for example, you may want Peppa Pig Pink or the a font that is in a calligraphy style. There is so set limit on words, as little or as many as you like.

We take literally your list of words, so please take care when it comes to writing it out. If it is an obvious spelling mistake, then we will change it to the correct spelling. As we have many requests for graphics, it will be difficult to rectify mistakes to preserve the original image. We will endeavour to correct mistakes, however, please be aware that there may be a difference between the graphics.

There are four designs to choose from:

Angel Wings






Butterfly




Heart



Star


There are three options for these graphics. Firstly, you may choose to have one made that is solely for use on Facebook. These images are of a low resolution and will be watermarked. You may tag, you may share, but they are not recommended for printing due to the watermark and low resolution.

Secondly, as well as the Facebook image, you made opt for a high resolution to be emailed to you. This will be sent in a PDF format, and is yours to do with what you pleased. We respectively ask for a £5.00 donation for this image.

Thirdly, again, as well as the Facebook image, we are offering a unique service. For £10.00 + P&P, we will print your image for you, add some gems to it, to make it 3D, it will be mounted and sealed in a cellophane bag. It will then be posted to you, recorded delivery. This makes a wonderful gift for someone who has lost a child, and a beautiful way of remembering their angel.

Please note that the Facebook and high resolution image can have any colour background but for the image to be mounted, it will be a white background.

This is an example of one that was done recently:
