Scannappeal are hoping to raise £57,000 to fund their brand new Baby NICU Appeal to provide a vital mobile scanning device for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Stoke Mandeville Hospital.
Charity Director of Scanappeal Lisa Trivett told us more about the specialist machines:
The NICU provides specialist care for vulnerable babies who need a higher level of medical care soon after birth including: babies born before 37 weeks gestation (a premature birth), babies who weigh less than 1.8kg, babies who need help with their breathing and babies who need intensive treatment and additional support that cannot be managed on the general postnatal ward. Babies may be treated in the NICU for a period ranging from a few days to as many as three to four months.
Theyre appealing to both families and businesses to give anything they can, as Lisa told us about a very meaningful donation they received:
In these testing times, the charity understand not everyone can donate, but you can help out in other ways...
