Story: As you likely know, our 4yo boy Cooper passed on 14th August 2024. We went on holiday to Singapore on Tuesday 6th August and that evening he ended up in ICU due to a heart attack in the hotel pool. Unknown to us, Cooper had an underlying heart condition. He was medivaced home to WA on the 12th of August, we prayed for a miracle but sadly, none came.
A force of nature aged nearly 5, Coops packed alot into his young life. He was loved beyond measure ny us and loved us and his wee sis Ruby in return. His cheeky smile melted our hearts. Cooper had so many friends we lost count. A bona- fide legend, he is being mourned by so many.
Losing a child is a huge, unfair tragedy and it leaves a family realing but we have been overwhelmed by the love, support and practical help offered. We are now still working with PCH cardiology team to make sure Ruby doesn't go through something smiliar.
Cause: A number of people have asked if they can help with the memorial swing and garden that is going opposite our house in our estate, if you have any skills or contacts that might be beneficial or you would like to donate that will be greatly appreciated.
The swing is ordered and paid for but the groundworks, installation, softfall area, memorial plaque and landscaping will cost a fortune but be so worthwhile as there is no playground easy walking distance from our estate.
We can't wait to share our progress and the end result 💙
