At some point in life you may need the love and help of those around you. They will be the hands that catch you and the supports that stop you sinking. Below are links to organisations and support who can help provide solace to those who have been touched by the passing of a little one. Many are run by amazing volunteers who selflessly give their precious time to help others.

Not long after starting the Free Spirits project I was contacted by a journalist named Elaine Ford at the ABC. Elaine had heard what I was doing and was kind enough to produce an article to highlight the SANDS cause and also tell our story about Bax and the drawings.
Following Elaine's article I was contacted by another journalist named Andrew McMillen who wrote a feature piece in The Weekend Australian Review. Both these people were incredibly compassionate and reached a nationwide audience with their stories. Since that time the project took off and I have had the pleasure of producing sketches for families throughout Australia and internationally.
If you would like to read about Elaine, Andrew or their articles, follow the links attached.
