No one ever wants to be in the position that we were in on 23rd December 2021. The day we felt like our worlds had ended. We had to say goodbye to our beautiful baby girl Lottie who was only 2 and a half days old. Her death was avoidable and neglect was found by the coroner.

Losing a baby isn't the natural progression of life, it isn't expected and is seriously damaging on the heart and soul. To provide some healing at a time so sad is something we'd like to do as a gift from our little angel.

We are so very grateful for the support that we received by the Sunderland Royal Neo Natel team and our bereavement midwife Charlotte Mutton and we would really love to give something back.

We want to provide a legacy for our baby girl Lottie and buy 'a cuddle blanket' so that loved ones can hold their precious baby that bit longer and contribute to a memorial garden to those that have lost their beautiful babies like ours.

Bereavement of a baby is unimaginable and not really talked about. Doing this hopefully raises awareness of baby loss and provides comfort for those in one of the most heart breaking moments possible.

Our fundraising target is £‪5000.00‬ and will be doing various events to raise the money, one being 'The Three Peak Challenge' and other being a 10 mile walk along South Shields coastline. We know it is a lot and we are also aware that people already give generously to other worthwhile causes so any donation, how small, would be wonderful.

Thank you for all of your love and support,

Lottie's Mam and Dad,

Emma and Davey
