National Bereaved Parents Day 2023

Charlotte and Kimora

I paint stones in memory of my little girl Kimora. Kimora passed away in 2018 aged 3 from Neuroblastoma, childhood cancer.

Kimora's little brother also helps to paint stones and we leave them all around for others to find , to bring joy when they are found , to tell people Kimora's story , keeping her name alive and heard as well as raising awareness for childhood cancer.

When Kimora was unwell and having chemotherapy she would often find joy painting her stones and giving them to other children at the hospital , as well as leaving them out and about when we were able to get outdoors which she loved. Continuing "Kimora's Smile Stone's " in her memory is something very special to me. I often receive messages from the finders of the painted stones saying how it was just what they needed that day , or how it has really cheered them up etc. People take them on their hols, members of the community, friends , family, children get involved too and take the stones on their travels with them or even paint stones too.
