Providing comfort, acknowledgment, and lasting memories for families experiencing unimaginable loss.
Love From Penny & Lyla provides Care Boxes to Canberra area hospitals and clinics, for parents who have experienced the loss of their precious baby, at any stage.
We partner with Canberra hospitals to ensure families whose baby has died, at any stage of pregnancy through to early infancy, receive practical support, comfort, and opportunities to create precious memories that will last a lifetime.
We help bereaved parents feel seen, supported, and remembered during the most heartbreaking moments of their lives.

Our story
I’m really glad you’re here. I’d love to share a bit about how Love From Penny & Lyla came to be.
I'm married to Duncan, and together we have two beautiful girls, Penny and Lyla. Sadly we only get to hold the girls in our hearts, not in our arms. We lost Penny to miscarriage at 13+4 weeks in 2022, and Lyla shortly after she was born at 23+1 weeks in 2023.
'Love From Penny & Lyla' is a way to share our babies with the world, to make sure their memories live on, and in a way, to parent from afar. It's a great comfort to be able to pass on the love that Penny and Lyla have brought to us, to others who need it in their darkest hours.
Our mission
To provide compassionate support, comfort and connection to families grieving the loss of a baby during pregnancy or early infancy, through the provision of keepsake and care items.
Our Vision
A world where every family experiencing the loss of a baby feels seen, supported, and surrounded by love; where grief is met with compassion and no one endures it in silence.
