When my partner and I were expecting our 1st child we didn't expect to come across needing the help and support of this charity.. 

Back in January 2015 our little boy Thomas decided to enter the world 8 weeks early. This was a massive shock to us as we had no signs of this happening..Thankfully Thomas arrived at a healthy weight of 5lb 1 which for a premature baby is amazing.. the staff at RVI scub were fantastic helping us deal with the shock and what the next few weeks of hospital visits would be like.. 

Having to leave your baby in hospital while we went home every night was awful but knowing the care he was getting made it alittle easier to deal with. After nearly 3 weeks Thomas was allowed home.

Without the support of tiny lives and the other staff I don't know how we would Of coped being new parents in this situation.. 

Aswell as myself and Steph having been  through this we know other friends and family who have had similar experiences with having strong premature babies who have grown from strength to strength showing amazing fight and courage. This wouldn't be possible without the dedication Tinylives staff put into helping care for these babies no matter how sick or prem they provide so much care to everyone. 

I would like to give something back for the truely amazing work they do.
