Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit the 'Forget Me Not - Baby & Children's Garden' JustGiving page.

The 'Forget Me Not - Baby and Children's Garden' was opened in June 2014 to give parents, grandparents, siblings and friends a beautiful place to remember their lost little ones.  The garden is decorated with named pebbles in remembrance of individual children.

On Friday 8th May there was an attempt to steal the stunning water feature which formed the focal part of the garden.  Sadly, the feature was smashed and the garden left badly trampled. 

This senseless crime on a memorial, has horrified local bereaved parents, as well as the wider community of Milton Keynes.  There has been an incredible outpouring of support to 'fix' the damage and return the garden to its former beauty - and for that, we are hugely thankful. 

Whilst we had initially intended the garden to be a private place, we now feel we have no option but to install CCTV ahead of repairs.  We hope families understand and support this decision. 

We have an enthusiastic gardening team ready to go, but before work can start, we need to secure funds!  We would be enormously grateful of any donation (no matter how small).

MK Hospital Charity will automatically divert all funds from this page to the Baby Bereavement Fund.

The 'Forget Me Not' garden team thank you enormously for all your support. x

==========================

Our revised target of £3,000 is to replace the water feature and place CCTV at the garden.
