I was in neo-natal Care for 12 weeks and my parents had to visit me everyday to see me, care for me and get updates on my progress. I am now a happy, healthy 5 year old despite my early start. I am now in a position to give back.

On average parents travel 27 miles to visit their premature or sick baby in neonatal care - with some families travelling over 100 miles.But with access to neonatal units currently restricted - the current COVID-19 pandemic is making the barriers which prevent parents being with their baby even harder to overcome. Some parents currently aren't able to be with their baby at all - and for others the daily costs of travel to hospital and the challenge of finding childcare for older children come at a time when many families are facing job insecurity.Bliss know that babies have the best outcomes if their parents are able to be actively involved in their care. Your donation will help Bliss continue their work breaking down barriers stopping parents from being able to care for their babies on the neonatal unit.
