Rylei Arcadia's Cuddle Cot for Erlanger

Donation protected
Christmas Eve will mark my daughter's first birthday. Miss Rylei Arcadia would have been a year old next month, but unfortunately, she was born with a Neural Tube Defect called Anencephaly which left her with only a portion of her brain. We were lucky to have one beautiful week with her before she passed.
Not every family is fortunate enough to get that kind of time with their babies alive, though. As heartbreaking as it is, babies are born still each day. Without cuddle cots, these families are forced to spend very little time with their babies after they have passed.
A cuddle cot is a cooling mattress that stops the baby's body from deteriorating, and can be placed in a cot or even a pram. It allows parents to stay with them for days, or longer if they wish. We are currently trying to raise enough money to get one of these cots for Erlanger because they do not have one.
Any and all donations are appreciated
All proceeds will be going directly into the account of the coordinator on the maternity ward toward a purchase of a cuddle cot. Anything raised past the amount for a cuddle cot will be used toward buying supplies for memory boxes for Erlanger, or another cuddle cot if we raise enough!
*Also, I have set a goal because I am waiting to hear back from Erlanger's medical coordinator with an actual price for a cot.*
