My story

 

In memory of the recent passing of our little man Milo Gerring-Hilder ,  who passed away just 2 weeks before his 1st Birthday, we are raising money for 'Friends of PICU' (Southampton Hospital Paediatric Intensive Care Unit), and we would really appreciate it if you could make a donation.  Milo was in PICU on several occasions for days at a time, and the Nurses and Doctors in Southampton (and our local hospital in Chichester) were fantastic in caring for him and our whole family.

The charity 'Friends of PICU' is a charity run by some of the nurses and parents, and they are currently raising funds for a Psychologist / in-house Counsellor.  A very much needed new facility to support parents, children and families who like us have had or have a child in PICU.   This is a immensly stressful time for everyone concerned - it is very hard to explain in words what emotions you go through when in hospital and feeling so vulnerable, therefore this is a much needed addition to the broad service provided in PICU.  The charity are hoping to fund it for the first 3years - aiming to raise £100,000.  In addition they raise funds for new state of the art specialist equipment and a dedicated PICU ambulance when anew updated one is required.

PICU at Southampton General Hospital is the Regional centre for the South of England and the Channel Islands. It is a purpose built unit which presently is open to 11 beds providing 24hour 1:1 care for very sick/injured children, however it has the ability to expand to 14 beds in the future.

Justgiving sends your donations straight to Friends of PICU and automatically reclaims gift aid if you are a taxpayer, so your donation is worth even more

Thank you

Mark, Elaine and Oscar xxx
