Our daughter, Jemima Felicity Jobling, was born at Homerton Hospital on 20 August 2026, at just 24 weeks’ gestation and weighing only 525g (1lb 2oz).

Jemima was cared for by an incredible team of doctors and nurses who showed us extraordinary kindness, compassion and dedication throughout her time in their care. Despite their very best efforts, Jemima sadly passed away in our arms on 6 October 2026.

Homerton Hospital in Hackney, East London is home to a highly specialised Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), which cares for some of the smallest and sickest babies. The team does extraordinary work, not only in providing highly specialised medical care, but also in supporting families through one of the most difficult experiences imaginable.

In Jemima’s memory, we are raising money for the NICU through the hospital’s charity, Homerton Hope. All funds raised will go towards supporting the unit and the care it provides to other babies and their families.

We hope that, in Jemima’s name, we can help other families receive the same exceptional care, kindness and support that meant so much to us.

Thank you,

Emily and Andrew x
