The Forgotten Fathers
A special collection of cards to honour Fathers who have lost children this Father's Day
In March we produced our ground-breaking range of bereaved Mother's Day cards. When we created these cards, the words by Hannah Pontillo in aid of Kicks Count, we weren’t prepared for the overwhelming response we received from the community of bereaved parents, it soon became clear that there was a forgotten group of parents out there who wished to use the day to honour their angel babies. We were then inundated with requests to create a range of bereaved Father's day cards. Kicks Count invited their social media community to compose verses that we could use to illustrate designs from our creators.
For each card sold from this collection, 100% of the profits will be donated to Kicks Count charity, created after the founder, Sophia Wyatt, gave birth to her precious daughter Chloe, stillborn. Chloe died just 3 days before her due date.
In the days following Chloe's death, Sophia realised that many other families could be spared the same tragedy if only they had information that she hadn't - when babies are in distress in the womb, many of them move less before they pass away. By reporting a change in movements immediately, babies in distress could be saved. Had Sophia known that at the time, Chloe may still be here.
