Story
As you may be aware we lost our beautiful baby boy Teddy over two weeks ago now and throughout this horrendously traumatic time, we had, and still have amazing care from Birmingham Women’s Hospital. On what was the worst day of our lives the staff managed to give us some form of comfort and dignity and treated our beautiful boy with such respect, which we will always cherish in our hearts. We want to help them to raise money to provide a unit similar to what they could provide us with at the time; we want to do it in memory of our beautiful boy. We are only having a small intimate funeral with immediate family however if people wanted to support us we kindly ask for no flowers or cards and instead a small donation to this special cause. It will mean the world to us and the hospital.
Birmingham women’s hospital cares for over 2,000 grieving mums and dads every year who may have lost a baby through miscarriage, stillbirth or neonatal death.Every loss is a devastating and uniquely personal experience, but at the moment the space in which their expert bereavement midwives have to hold heartbreaking conversations doesnt reflect the significance of each familys loss.News is delivered in cramped quiet rooms, often on the maternity ward or in busy outpatient areas, and their patients repeatedly speak of feeling rushed and of having nowhere to go after receiving devastating news.Woodland House will change this. It will be a brand-new, purpose-built, centre away from the hustle and bustle of the main hospital, where families can spend time together in safe, secure and serene surroundings before they feel ready to face the world again. They need to raise £3.5million to make Woodland House a reality.
We would be so grateful for any donations. Thank you x
