Donations cannot currently be made to this page
The Barely Born Appeal raises funds to help provide St Mary's Hospital with a new, spacious, Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, adjacent to the Maternity Ward for the island's sick babies and their parents. This will provide space, additional cots, privacy, overnight accommodation, play facilities and a counselling room.

Story

<p>Hi! I'm raising money for The Barely Born Appeal, which provides for the Isle of Wight's neo-natal intensive care unit. My baby Teddy was born 8 weeks too soon, and if it wasn't for the amazing NICU, we'd have had to go to Southampton. I want to help raise money for this very worthy cause to help others who have to go through what we went through. So, I am having an apple tattooed on me! An apple because The Barely Born Appeal have apples, leaves and apple trees available to sponsor to personalise in the window of NICU. An apple costs &pound;75. I want to raise more than that and dedicate to every single baby who has used NICU. I have promised to match every donation like for like - so please make me broke and dig deep!</p> <p>Jade, Paul, Ralfie and Teddy xxx</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
