Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As many people know last year I found out I was pregnant with my beautiful twin babies. I couldn't have been more excited until I reached 29 weeks when something just wasn't right. I was admitted into hospital and that weekend I gave birth to my tiny babies. 

They were rushed up to NICU for breathing support, health checks and growth. We had the most stressful few weeks of our lives ahead of us. When our babies got a little stronger we were then put through the transfer process of moving hospitals. This was one of the worst part of our ordeal as our babies were transferred but I needed further treatment so couldn't join them. 

While at St James' I felt lonely, scared and anxious until I met the bliss volunteers. They were a great help to me, jake and our parents. We were very lucky that our babies didn't have too many health problems or concerns but even still our time was so difficult. 

So many other parents are in the same or even worse situations than we were and bliss is so important in helping them. We couldn't have don't it without their support. Please give whatever you can. Even £1 makes a difference! Thank you.

Bliss is the leading UK charity for babies born premature or sick. We rely on donations to fund our work but with one baby admitted to neonatal care every five minutes we don’t have the resources to reach every baby who needs us. Your donation can help Bliss ensure every baby gets the best care.
