For Every Little Life Lost, We Carry Hope

At the heart of our campaign is Hope the Elephant, a soft toy filled with meaning, courage and remembrance.

💙 Be part of something powerful 💙

We’re calling on truck drivers, families, and supporters across Australia to help us shine a light on SIDS and support critical research and infant safe sleep education.

Buy a Hope the Elephant plush toy. Carry her with you. Share your journey. Every Hope sold helps fund SIDS research and education.

“When I first heard about River’s Gift, as a parent, the organisation’s work struck a chord. As a Mum of two and grandmother to six-month-old Daisy, the thought of losing a child to SIDS was excruciating. River’s Gift’s focus on preventing and eliminating SIDS is remarkable and – as a result, the Board quickly recognised the organisation as an important charitable cause for WiTA (Women in Trucking Australia) to support and align with.” Lyndal Denny, CEO of WiTA
