About Little Jem Foundation Little Jem Foundation was born from profound personal loss. After Mat and Amy lost their daughter Jemma at 27 weeks pregnant, they made the courageous decision to transform their grief into support for other families. The foundation provides practical help, emotional care, and genuine understanding to families experiencing:
- Baby loss at any stage of pregnancy
- Loss of children at any age
- Loss of young adults
What makes Little Jem Foundation so powerful is that it comes from lived experience. Matt and Amy understand the isolation, the overwhelming grief, and the desperate need for support from people who truly understand. They've created the foundation they wish had existed when they needed it most.
How This Raffle Makes a Difference Every ticket purchased directly supports Little Jem Foundation's mission to ensure no family faces child loss alone. The foundation provides:
- Immediate practical support during crisis
- Long-term emotional care and counselling resources
- Community connections with other families who understand
- Advocacy and awareness for child loss support
- Memorial and remembrance services
