Story

<p>Chialuka, our baby boy, was born&nbsp;prematurely.&nbsp; Hence his first&nbsp;days&nbsp;have been&nbsp;spent in the neonatal intensive care unit at St.Marys, Paddington.&nbsp; It is an excellent facility, with state of the art equipment and wonderful, caring staff.&nbsp; We feel&nbsp;genuinely fortunate that Chialuka is being given such a good start in life.&nbsp; <br>The neonatal unit is supported by the Winnicott Foundation, a charity founded by parents and doctors who wanted to do more for premature and sick babies than the NHS was able to provide.&nbsp; Our aim is to raise &pound;5,000 to support their invaluable work.&nbsp; The money will be used to buy such&nbsp;items as a 'baby nest', which helps a premature baby to lie comfortably when they are not yet developed enough to do this for themselves.&nbsp; It costs around &pound;40.&nbsp; For more details see <a href="http://www.winnicott.org.uk/how-your-donations-help">http://www.winnicott.org.uk/how-your-donations-help</a></p> <p>Thank you for your support,</p> <p>Simon, Chika, Chialuka</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
