Nature of Enquiry 25th February 2013 Dear Sir/Madam, On July 29th 2012 I gave birth to beautiful twin boys however it was far too early. I was only 26 and a half weeks pregnant so on the 29th July my boys Alfie and Theo began their long and traumatic fight for life and against all odds I bought them home, Alfie on 27th November and Theo on the 5th December. The reason I am writing to you is that I wouldn't have my boys with me now if it weren't for the specialist care they received at Musgrove Park NeoNatal Intensive Care Unit. The care that the nurses provide everyday is costly. Did you know it costs £1500 to keep a baby in Intensive Care for a day, £1,000 for a High Dependency baby per day and £600 for Special Care babies? An Incubator vital to regulate a premature babies temperature costs £25,000 a ventilator to keep precious babies alive when they are not well enough to breath for themselves cost £26,000 so you can see that these units need all the support from charity donations they can get. I want to do my bit by way of thanking this wonderful unit that gave me my precious boys. I am holding a charity quiz night on Friday 12th April to include a raffle and auction and am writing to ask if you would kindly donate any raffle prizes or auction items. Anything you give would be gratefully received and will support in raising much needed funds for this wonderful life saving unit. If you would like any more information or wish to contact us regarding prizes, auction items or donations then please feel free tophone – Harriet on 07825090351 or email harrietdurston@hotmail.co.uk Thanks and Kind Regards
