Baby products brand Little Chick London has donated a quantity of two of its best-selling products to the Evelina London neonatal unit, part of Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust.
The donation was made in recognition of the hospital’s outstanding care, which resulted in the full recovery of an extremely sick toddler. It was given to help make life a little easier for babies and their parents during their stay at the hospital.
Little Chick London donated a number of two of its best-selling products – the Little Chick London Comfort Nest and Twinkle Lights Bedtime Soother – to help make young babies feel safe, comfortable and soothed. The company will also be making regular donations to help families on an ongoing basis.
“In summer 2018, my little granddaughter Evie fell extremely ill with pneumonia resulting in a collapsed lung. The prompt action of staff in the Evelina London neonatal unit saved her life and she is now fully recovered… Evelina London staff were amazing, and we felt relieved to be in such capable hands and confident in their ability to put her back on the road to recovery,” said Rachelle Harel’s Little Chick London.
“Being in this situation made me realise how stressful it must be for new parents with premature and sick babies who have to spend weeks and maybe months in the neonatal ward of the hospital,” she continued. “As a co-director of Little Chick London, I felt compelled to gift some of our products to hopefully make life even the tiniest bit easier for other families during one of the most stressful times of their lives.”
“We are delighted Evie has recovered and is now doing well,” commented Elaine Wood, neonatal sister lead for family liaison at Evelina London. “We are very thankful for the generous donations from Little Chick London which will be used to support patients’ developmental play. Spending time in the neonatal unit can be extremely tough for families so these gifts will help to bring some joy and comfort to their stay.”
