Becca and Amina first connected through the Finley Project, where Amina served as Becca’s support person in the aftermath of Olive’s death. Their shared experience of the same devastating medical event forged a deep bond, and over time their friendship grew into a chosen family. They spent both of Olive’s birthdays together, honouring her memory and supporting one another through grief.

As they navigated the legal aftermath of what had happened, they began to discuss creating an organisation that could drive meaningful change. It was during this process that they realised something striking: despite the severity and life-altering consequences of uterine rupture, there was no official organisation dedicated to it. That absence revealed a profound gap — and a calling.

Later, they connected with Ruby, whose independent research, data collection, and advocacy work mirrored the very efforts they considered essential for raising awareness and improving outcomes. Together, their shared experiences and complementary strengths helped shape the foundation’s vision, turning personal tragedy into collective purpose.

The Uterine Rupture Foundation was created on what would have been Olive’s second birthday.

The Uterine Rupture Foundation stands in memory of Olive Eleanor Brink, Alexander Karl Levy, Ottavio Jensen Daly Pillar, and all babies lost to uterine rupture — and in honour of every mother and family who has survived it.
