The Cots 4 Tots story
The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation is a non-profit organisation that is a partner in the Marine Corps toy drive. It provides financial, advisory, administrative, logistical and promotional support to local Toys for Tots Coordinators and various other services that the Marine Corps cannot provide. It also provides educational and informational materials to the general public, arranges for national companies to include information about Toys for Tots in their paid advertisements and also conducts a public education and publicity program each year.The Cots 4 Tots story began in 2010 with a fund-raising appeal to Bristol's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at St Michael's Hospital. Since its beginning the charity has raised tens and thousands of pounds to support families who have sick or premature babies in the West of England and South Wales. Its mission includes providing families with accommodation houses as well as the latest equipment for the NICU.
One of the main areas of focus is the Cots for Tots House, a cost-free "home from home" for families staying in the hospital. It is located next to the NICU and allows parents to be close to their infant. The charity has helped more than 2100 families stay at the house since 2012.
Families who reside at Cots for Tots House can be reassured that they're not the only ones. They are part of a community of other parents going through the same thing as them and they can support each one another out. In addition, they have access to a wide range of facilities to make their stay as comfortable as they can.
The charity also supports an artist who visits the NICU to ease the stress and suffering of both babies and parents. This has been shown to improve the quality of life of both patients and their families. Music therapy can also reduce the amount of medication required to treat these children, thereby saving time and money for hospitals. The therapist utilizes specially-designed resonant musical instruments that are tuned to specific frequencies, and play soothing tunes to soothe infants. The resonant musical instruments can also relax mothers and fathers.The Cots 4 Tots website
