8 amazing years today since we launched our wonderful, and very much loved, Little Star Beads Program ⭐️We have supplied over 100,000 beautiful little beads for milestones and medical procedures for over 2000 seriously ill babies and children across 15 hospitals in the ACT, NSW, QLD & SA.We have created an incredibly valuable silver lining for families and have developed the program to share it far and wide, and have worked with hospitals and their supporters to help them all to be self funded and sustainable. ❤️I can’t easily describe in words how much my little daughters string of beads means to me, but I can tell you that in 8 years all I have ever heard is positivity and gratefulness from every parent and child who has been on our program, and every health professional who has implemented the program and shared the beads with families in their care ❤️Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this amazing journey so far, it been such a beloved part of my work and I look forward to the day when out Little & Tiny Star beads will be in every children’s ward, in every hospital in Australia ❤️Sydney Children's Hospitals FoundationRoyal North Shore HospitalNorthern Beaches HospitalJohn Hunter HospitalRoyal Hospital for Women FoundationSouth Eastern Sydney Local Health DistrictWomen's and Children's Health NetworkFlinders Medical CentreRoyal Prince Alfred HospitalCairns and Hinterland Hospital and Health ServiceCentenary Women's and Childrens Hospital, CanberraCalvary Public Hospital BruceACT Health ...

Merry Christmas to you one and all🎄Our love and gratitude goes out today to everyone in our lovely Stella Bella community. You have helped us to make sure all of the babies and children in our programs had a little bit of extra sparkle this Christmas ⭐️🎅🏼 We were very lucky to receive a visit from the ‘real’ Santa and Mrs Claus at our children’s Christmas party in the park again this year to celebrate the end of a year that’s been extra challenging for all.❤️ All of the babies in the NICU and Special Care Nurseries at Calvary and TCH woke this morning to little filled stockings thanks to donations from the lovely folk at C3 church in Wanniassa. ❤️ Each child in our programs received a hand delivered gift thanks to the delivery elves at Blackshaw Real Estate and those who donated toys to Beyond Grappling Club this year. ❤️ We have given families in need a little hand with a voucher to help with the extra expenses this time of year can bring and provided some accomodation for those far from home with a sick little one this Christmas. ❤️ The amazingly generous Projects Assured team cooked up another giant batch of yummy meals for parents who are caring for babies in hospital over the holidays.Even during this joyous time, there are some families going through the saddest moments with their little ones and we have been able to reach out to them as well and help them to make some precious memories together 🧸We also sent some special cheer in the form of gingerbread houses to brighten Christmas for some of our bereaved families ❤️It’s a very special time of the year and no matter whether you are in hospital or at home, healthy or very unwell, we all want to find some joy in this day. Thank you to each and every one of you who have supported us this Christmas as you have enabled us to provide a bit of that joy to hundreds of families in our community ❤️Even though the gifts are very gratefully received by families, the thought and care behind the giving really does mean so much to the recipients so thank you for helping us to do that. We hope your day has been full of joy and good vibes too! ❤️🎄 ❤️ ... See MoreSee Less

Generosity is big in this lovely town!Pilates with Dan has been quietly and kindly supporting Stella Bella over many years, with vouchers for our auctions and raffles and with special fundraising classes so we’d like to shout a big THANK YOU to them and their super lovely team. Every little bit goes a very long way with us and we are so grateful for the little and big businesses that think of us, and the families we support, all through the year ❤️• GENEROSITY •With only 4 days to go before our End-of-Year Mat-work class (a couple of tickets are still available!) we'll be spending a couple of days highlighting one of the big reasons WHY we do this class every year. The act of giving to each other. The class is a charity fund raiser for Stella Bella Little Stars Foundation and we're holding it at Companion House Community Hall where funds for hiring the hall go to help new Australians settle in to life here.We also organise a goody bag overflowing with generous gifts from local businesses - there is well over $50 worth of goodies in this year's bag!So tomorrow and Thursday we'll be highlighting these generous peeps - make sure you head over to their social media pages and give them a like. Its free and helps them out too. ... See MoreSee Less
