Story
In honour of our forever baby boy Romeo Mackenzie Horn we are aiming to raise a minimum of £3,000 to provide the South Lakes Birthing Centre at Furness General Hospital a second Abi Cooling Cot. They have kindly accepted our offer of a donation, and they are ready to receive as soon as we reach our total. Once we reach the total amount needed for Furness General Hospital, we intend to raise money for the Cooperative Funeralcare in Kendal to provide them with an Abi Cooling Cot. This will be an amazing asset to them, and it will provide them with something few funeral homes have access to, prolonging the time families can spend with their babies all in memory of Romeo. This will massively benefit grieving parents in the immediate vicinity of the Kendal area.
The Abi Cooling Cot is a refrigerated unit that allows families to spend more time with their deceased baby than would otherwise be possible. The cooling cot helps parents to bond with their baby and aids the grieving process. The cooling cot is supplied by Abigail's Footsteps in partnership with The Bond Group . We have delivered cots to over 100 hospitals and hospices in the UK and Ireland so far. It is our mission to encourage all bereavement suites in hospitals to have at least two cooling cots.
