On the 12th of March we gave birth to our beautiful sleeping son Jake. We held him in our arms and cherished every moment we could because when we said goodbye it really was forever .... without the help of the amazing staff at St Mary's special unit we wouldn’t have been able to get through the hardest time in our lives.

The warmth, care and emotional support was beyond incredible and for that we would like to raise money to build a new bereavement room in the ward as there are only two at the moment. These rooms are away from all the other maternity rooms and they allow all of your family to be in a safe space together, along with being close to all the nurses and doctors whilst your processing your loss and preparing to give birth.

Stillbirth unfortunately happens to so many people every year and without these bereavement wards and the Rainbow/Tommy Unit, people wouldn’t get the support needed to help overcome such tragedy and also be able to safely go on to hopefully have more children.

We want to thank not only St Mary's but all our family and friends for helping us and supporting our family and this charity.
Love Rema, Sam, Phoebe & Demi xx
