Sophie’s Story
“Sophie is our first child – our absolute treasure. When she was born, our excitement at being new parents turned quickly into shock and concern, as doctors discovered our baby girl had some severe health problems. Sophie’s breathing, her heart and her ability to feed were all affected.” – Melissa, Sophie’s mum
Sophie spent a year and a half in the Transitional Care Unit (TCU). The TCU is a dedicated space where young patients and their families might spend many months, as they prepare to move out of hospital and back into their homes. While they are in hospital, we want to provide them with the utmost in comfort and convenience.
Supporters like you have been key in setting up the service and equipping it for it’s vital work every single day.
