Hi, I’m Kelly wife to Tyler, mum to our spirited girl Ella, our smiley little Rosie-Rae, and our beautiful angel boy, Charlie.

In January 2023, our world changed forever when we said goodbye to Charlie, who passed away from a rare genetic condition called Barth Syndrome. Since that day, life has felt divided, before Charlie, and after Charlie.

Even with a strong network of family and friends, we often felt isolated in our grief. What we longed for most was connection a safe space with others who truly understood. That’s why we created Charlie & Friends a community built from love, loss, and hope.

We’re here to walk beside families navigating the heartbreak of losing a baby or child, offering understanding, comfort, and a gentle reminder that you are not alone.

If you’re a mum, dad, sibling, grandparent, or loved one walking this path — you have a place here with us.
