A CHARITY that offers priceless support to those experiencing the trauma of baby loss has been saved – but warned it only has enough money left to survive for another six months.
Vanessa Rhazali, head of fundraising and communications at SiMBA, told the Glasgow Times that staff had been overwhelmed by the incredible response to their initial appeal. “We are recovering from crisis point but the cost to make each memory box has soared in recent years. Even the price of cardboard has increased, along with blankets, candles and the other tokens we gift.
She now helps to gather precious items to give to parents whose babies have passed away, which includes a blanket, hand and footprints, a lock of hair, candles and two teddies, one of which stays with the baby and the other with the parents.She said: “I got a group of friends together to help raise money to cover the cost for the boxes and soon other hospitals started to take notice of what we were doing. About a year later we became a registered charity.
