Aoife’s First Birthday Fundraiser For Cots For Tots

Hi! I’m Abi, Aoife’s mum, and we’re about to celebrate our baby girl’s very first birthday

As we reflect on this past year, we’re reminded of how fortunate we are to have a healthy, thriving daughter. Instead of birthday presents, we’ve decided to ask our friends and family for a gift that gives back: a donation to Cots for Tots, part of The Grand Appeal charity in Bristol.

Cots for Tots supports the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at St Michael’s Hospital, where Aoife first entered the world. Though she was born strong and didn’t need NICU care herself, I have always been moved by the dedication of the nurses, doctors, and volunteers who care for the tiniest and most vulnerable babies. From lifesaving equipment to family accommodation and emotional support, Cots for Tots provides critical resources to help families through their most challenging moments.

If you were thinking of buying Aoife a gift, we’d be so grateful if you would instead consider making a donation, no matter how small, to help other babies and families in need. Your generosity will help ensure that more little ones receive the care they deserve.

Thank you for celebrating Aoife’s first birthday with us and for supporting this important cause

Abi (Aoife’s mum)
