Story

In 2019, we were greatly blessed with the birth of our third child Quinn. However, a few hours after he was born it was clear that he was unwell and needed urgent attention. For the next few weeks, Quinn stayed in the Special Care Baby Unit at the Maelor Hospital in Wrexham. He received expert twenty-four hour care from dedicated and skilled staff.

Due to the work that Cherish Wrecsam does, my wife was able to stay in a room very close to Quinn so that she could be with him, feed him and get regular updates on how he was doing. Cherish also gave Laura and I counselling to help us through a traumatic period from Ruth, a lovely lady who has experienced what we have and more. 

This charity is small and local. Ruth does so much of the work on her own. My raising money for this charity is to help the charity continue their great work in supporting parents with children in SCBU at the Maelor. 

Quinn is now a healthy, fun and joy filled three year old. We are so grateful for those skilled staff at the Maelor for nursing our baby back to health. 

Please consider donating.
