Story
Hi all,
Josh, Cooper, Kade & I would like your help as we are hoping to donate a cuddle cot in honour of our baby boy, Jackson.
Our beautiful boy, Jackson was born on 26th Feb 2019 but due to an infection he was born stillborn.
We are fundraising for a cuddle cot to be donated to an Australian hospital, funeral home or hospice to support bereaved families in those crucial days after the loss of their baby.
A cuddle cot is a cooling system that lays beneath the baby within a bassinet. It enables families to keep their baby close and create beautiful memories, spending as much time as they wish with their baby, before saying goodbye. This reduces the worry or distress of separation to keep handing their baby back to staff.
I can’t tell you how much they need this. Josh and I only got 3 days with Jackson but having him right next to us where we could pick him up and give him a cuddle, look him over and check out all his little rolls. Our family and friends also had the time to come meet our little boy. A cuddle cot gave us more time with him before we had to say goodbye. He was our little baby and we needed him close. We needed to grieve, get our heads around the fact that he wouldn’t be coming home with us.
A cuddle cot costs $6500 so this is the amount we hope to raise.
Not all hospitals have cuddle cots available and some larger hospitals may need more.
6 babies are born stillborn everyday in Australia. That’s 2200 families a year shattered and left heart broken.
We hope we can help ease a bit of their pain by making a cuddle cot available to give them more time with their little ones
We would love for your support to help us reach our goal but I know a lot of people are struggling atm so even if you can help by sharing our page to reach out to more people we would really appreciate it.
Thankyou
Amy, Josh, Cooper & Kade xx
