Story

7 year's ago Ronnie our Great Nephew died just a few days old of a virus.

Then 2 year's ago Oliver our Grandson was Stillborn. He was perfectly healthy but unfortunately the embilical cord was knotted in several places. These events were devastating for everyone. Personally I did not know what to do or who to speak to. I then called Sands and spoke to someone who had experienced a similar event as a mother of a child who had died. While this could never change what happened it helped enormously and Sands continues to support my family today. Sadly 13 newborn babies die everyday in the Uk. So please give whatever you can to support this great charity.
