I want to raise $10,000 for two cuddle cots to give to Rotorua birthing unit so bereaved parents can spend more time with their angel babys
Bay of Plenty
I want to raise $10,000 for two cuddle cotts to give to Rotorua birthing unit (they cost $5000 each) . A Cuddle Cot is the cooling unit that allows parents to spend more time with their infant after death than is currently possible. This is a crucial time in which bereaved parents can create memories through photographs, casts and making hand and footprints - an essential part of the healing process. There is currently one Cuddle cot in Rotorua, The day I had my stillborn daughter Sunshine there were 4 other woman who lost their babies to stillbirth that day, We need more so parents can spend that extra bit of time with their baby before they have to let go.
I lost my daughter Sunshine when i was 16 to stillbirth at 23+6 weeks gestation. A cuddle Cot would have been amazing because although I wanted to spend my life with my daughter I wasn't able to, and a Cuddle Cot would've given me that extra bit of time with my daughter before I had to let go and bury her. It would mean the world to me if i was able to fundraise enough to buy even one cuddle Cot, and would definitely make me proud being able to do something in memory of my daughter Sunshine to help other parents who will be in the position I was.
