Our Story
Who We Are
Whittaker's Wings Foundation was lovingly established after founders Ryan and Crystal Zeeman, devastatingly lost their daughter Whittaker, at 40+1 weeks gestation in July 2021.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide compassionate support to families experiencing the loss of a baby between 20 weeks gestation and full-term birth. Through care packs distributed to Queensland hospitals, we gently encourage family-led after-death care practices for stillborn babies.
Our Vision
We are dedicated to advocating for enhanced stillbirth support and training within tertiary and hospital settings, while also fostering greater awareness and understanding of miscarriage, stillbirth, and bereavement care for every expecting parent.
