Ivy Milton was 4 years of age and from birth she had Spina Bifida. Throughout her life she was in and out of hospital receiving medical treatment. On the 3rd Feb 2025, Ivy passed away after receiving open heart surgery fighting the spread of Sepsis. Her passing was not anticipated and a shock for all her loved ones.

Parents; Michelle and Stephen Milton, decided they wanted their baby home and at rest with loved ones around. This was only possible if the body was kept cold and sufficient resources were in place.

It had taken the Funeral Directors (Eaves Funeral Directors, Whitehaven) to go above and beyond by travelling to a charity, in there own time, to collect a spare Cuddle Blanket they had sourced for the parents to use. Local Hospitals had none to give.

Without the Cuddle Blanket Ivy's body would have further deteriorated.

We would like to raise enough money as possible in order to purchase Cuddle Blankets for grieving parents - so they can take home their loved ones. 1 blanket costs £5000.

Please help. Any donation is welcomed and also share this plea far and wide.

Losing anyone is very tough. Losing a child is horrific. By helping the parents spend the final moments with their child, is remarkable.

Thank you!

Stephen, Michelle, Brothers, Sisters and Ivy's wider Family.
