Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our Justgiving page.
As you are aware we were expecting identical twin girls, Jessica and Aimee, but sadly lost our precious Aimee to stillbirth when I was close to the end of my pregnancy. Jessica then spent some time in NICU until she was well enough to come home and during that time we were introduced to the purple butterfly through The Skye High Foundation. It now holds significant meaning to us in remembering Aimee and will help us in future when explaining to Jessica about Aimee and with keeping her memory alive.
Thank you 💜🦋
The Skye High Foundation was set up to help families dealing with the loss of a baby who was part of a multiple birth. They created the purple butterfly cot card, which is to be placed in an incubator or cot in memory of their sibling. The cot card is used in conjunction with a poster that is placed around maternity and neonatal units, which explains the meaning of the purple butterfly. The cot card allows families the opportunity to make others around them aware of the journey they are going through. In addition they have created packs which can be sent to either families or hospitals.
