Offering a lifeline after
loss to bereaved parents.
WELCOME
We are Aimee & Ryan Conroy, the founders of Luna's Fund, created in memory of our beautiful daughter Luna Valentina Conroy who was born sleeping on the 29th November 2017.
"Luna's Fund stands for 'Love & Unity for Neonates And Stillborns'."
Our baby loss charity is determined to positively aid the mental and physical health and wellbeing of bereaved parents upon the loss of their baby.
We aim to support them by offering a choice of tangible services that they can access immediately upon leaving the hospital. We hope our services will positively impact their grieving process and give them hope for their future; their ‘new normal.’
We have constructed these ideas based on our own experience of what we would have loved to have been offered at the time... a lifeline after loss.
The long term goal for the charity is to own a safe haven retreat. This will be a comfortable space for families to grieve, to remember and to create new memories. We have aspirations of owning our very own 'Luna's Lodge' in the near future which will be based in the South West.
We welcome you and we thank you for being part of Luna's story.

HOW CAN WE SUPPORT YOU?
NURSERY REDECORATION
Redecoration of the baby’s nursery for parents who choose that this room is too painful for them to endure on a daily basis. Restoring the room to its original or alternative use.
RELAXING GETAWAYS
A relaxing getaway to help both the mind recovering from the trauma and the body recovering from labour. Giving parents the much needed breathing space to process what has happened.
FOOD HAMPER DELIVERIES
Food hamper deliveries to help reduce the lack of appetite whilst promoting nutritional goodness. Offering comfort whilst giving parents the option to avoid grocery shopping and social environments in the early stages.

We understand how it feels to not fit into the 'normal' pregnancy groups but also feeling distant from baby loss groups during this time.
READ OUR STORY...
A 23 year old first time mother who chose to grieve through the letters of a keyboard to share the raw reality of losing her daughter with the world. This ten part blog is raw, moving, emotional and uncomfortable but above all it is encapsulating, endeering, humorous and a must read.
