Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. This charity is very personal to me having used the specialised services when my daughter was born . Daisy was born just over 9 weeks early weighing 4Ib 2oz & spent just over 3 weeks in Milton Keynes special care baby unit - the costs associated with this specialised care is phenomenal (approx. £15,000 per night).
The work the Neonatal Unit does is simply outstanding and we are forever grateful for the dedication and support received in caring for Daisy and for us as parents going through a hugely traumatic experience. Daisy is now approaching her 3rd birthday and is a very happy little girl who makes us smile on a daily basis.
The Little Lives Fundraising Appeal aims to raise £250,000 to expand the hospital’s Neonatal Unit, which looks after babies who are born too early, or with serious medical conditions. The Trust cares for over 350 neonatal babies each year. But the demand for these specialist services is growing. The hospital currently has 18 cots (to deliver intensive and special care), and plans to add a further four high dependency cots. A complete refurbishment is needed to enable the hospital to increase capacity to 22 cots, and allow equipment to be upgraded.
In order to raise vital funds for the Little Lives Appeal & the hundreds of babies like Daisy that need this support we have taken part in 2 sponsored walks (where the challenge was to keep Daisy in her pushchair more than the walk itself)! We are now organising a raffle with some great prizes available (Virgin Experiences, Armani watches, Fossil jewellery & much much more.
Tickets are 50p per ticket, £2 per strip & £5 for 3 strips.
Any donation no matter how small will make a massive difference & will be very much appreciated.
