My story

Maggie Somers was stillborn on Oct 18th 2008. If it hadn't been for the care, love and support Maggie's parents experienced from the staff at the BGH then their grief would have been unbearable. On the day of Maggie's funeral through an internet parenting site and Facebook, over 200 people across the world who were moved by Maggie's family's distress wore a flower (real, knitted, fabric, hairslide or brooch) for Maggie. It brought real comfort to Maggie's family to know people cared so much and acknowledged their beautiful daughter. Since then, Maggie's Nana has started knitting flower brooches and calling them Maggie's Flowers, with the intention of selling them to raise funds for a new birthing pool at Borders General Hospital, through Borders Health Board Endowment Funds. Maggie's siblings, Katie 6 and Tommy 3 were born at the BGH, Tommy was born underwater in the pool and his birth was an incredible experience. If you donate and email me your address (jane.somers@mac.com) I will send you one of Maggie's Flowers. All flowers are different but please state a preference of colours if you wish. So by donating and receiving one of Maggie's Flowers you are helping something positive and special come out of a very sad situation. Thank you x Jane Somers (Maggie's Mummy) Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. The Difference - Borders Health Board Endowment Funds gets your money faster and, if you're a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Thank you for your support.
