Cuddle Cot for Salem Hospital

There's never enough time when you have to say hello and good bye in the same breath.  Willamette Valley Children's Charity, Inc. together with Johnson Funeral Home wants to place a Cuddle Cot in Salem Hospital.  What is a Cuddle Cot?  It's a bassinet equipped with a specially designed cooling system that allows a stillborn or miscarried baby to stay with his or her parents a little bit longer. Usually, normal room temperatures cause a still baby to deteriorate rapidly so it has to be moved to the hospital's morgue.  With a Cuddle Cot, baby can stay cool IN THE ROOM with the parents, giving precious time for pictures, foot prints, and holding baby, to say good-bye.  

Our community has 36 to 100 families every year who experience infant loss.  We can make this tragic and awful experience a little bit softer by equipping the hospital with the latest technology to help families in this situation.  Your donation will ensure this.

Please help us by donating today.   Thank you!
