4Louis, Wilder Coe’s charity of the year, is a very special charity to us at DPAS, and it’s one that we’re proud to support.

This UK charity works to support people who has experienced a miscarriage, stillbirth, or the death of a baby or a child. They also aim to support bereaved families by improving the care they receive. 4Louis provides families with “memory boxes” with keepsakes and mementos to create everlasting memories of their child. They also offer free tools, equipment, and training hospital units, hospices, and other professionals who work with grieving families.
