"It is a huge honour to have been trusted with the memorial funds of so many little loved ones, and I feel it is a true privilege for us to be able to put those funds towards creating something so special for a whole community of parents, siblings and their families. Thank you, so very much, to everyone who has supported and continues to support Aidan’s Elephants. It is because of you that we have been able to fund this invaluable project. The Tree of Tranquility is part of the legacies of so many treasured children, and will offer comfort to both newly bereaved families and those to sadly lost their children many, many years ago. Having a special place to visit is so important to many people, some of whom sadly have nowhere meaningful to go to remember their children. As parents who live without one of our own children, it means so much to us that we have been able to play a part in giving families the opportunity to have their children's names placed on this incredibly special sculpture, which stands within such beautiful, safe surroundings.
