👼🏼 MAGGIE’S LEGACY IS IN MALLORCA 👼🏼
On Friday I donated a Cuddle Cot & 20 memory boxes to Manacor hospital.
THIS IS THE ONLY CUDDLE COT ON THE WHOLE ISLAND!
As you know my dad, step mum, sister & niece live in Mallorca and when Maggie died they were able to meet her due to Burnley hospital having a cuddle cot!!
We got to spend 3 days with our beautiful little angel & made as many memories as we could, memories that have to last us a lifetime 💜I found out that when a baby is stillborn in Mallorca, parents only get an extremely short time to make memories with them I then KNEW I HAD to get a cuddle cot there!
Now they can spend time, make memories & families will have time to fly over and meet baby if they are from mainland or abroad. Just like my family did 🥹
It’s taken a VERY LONG time & a lot of obstacles along the way, but we did it 😍
It’s been a long and extremely emotional week 💜
Myself & my family spent days making memory boxes, translating Spanish to English & English to Spanish, providing training to the hospital and all the staff on how to use the cot, signing so much paperwork it’s unreal!
I don’t think I’ve ever been to Mallorca and not sunbathed 😂
My dad, step mum Katy & sister Joana have been so amazing helping me to get the cot to Mallorca, translating, helping me make all the boxes etc. They held me up when I was heartbroken even though they were too 💔
I would like to put a massive THANK YOU on here to MIKE PETIGREW who PAID for my flight and the cuddle cot to go to Mallorca!
Mike is such an amazing guy and to do this for Maggie’s legacy means the world to Mark & I.

Today after months of meetings and a lot of personal learning on my part,

I provided bereavement training at
LANCASHIRE CONSTABULARY HEADQUARTERS to DCI’s, DI’s and DS’s.
I have worked alongside Keely from Child Protection to offer this training & support and I’m so proud to be able to be a voice for all my angels mummies & families.
Keely is amazing and is so passionate about what she does as well as helping bereaved families as much as possible.
I feel so lucky to have her helping me understand more about what happens “legally” when a baby/child dies.
Her knowledge will help me support my families even more, as I can now answer the questions they have thoroughly.
I don’t think I’ve ever been so nervous!
But also so proud!
It was a very mixed bag of emotions for me today & I was angry at myself for getting emotional 💔
It’s hard not to when I’m speaking about Maggie & why I do what I do 👼🏼
However, the feedback I received was amazing and I feel so proud to be apart of the training around the sudden death of a baby/child & ways to possibly improve & keep doing what these officers are doing!!
Thank you to my angel mummies who provided me with feedback that I could use today, you guys are my warriors and I’m so proud of each one of you for your honest & open messages 😘
Thank you to Mark for having to constantly listen to my “practice runs” of what I wanted to talk about, only to change it, read it again and then change it back 😂

Today I went over to Burnley to see Frankie.

Frankie gave me £600 that her & her husband Zee have raised for Maggie’s Stillbirth Legacy in memory of her little boy,
Muhammad-Yusuf Hassan 💙🦋
When little Yusuf grew his angel wings, he was taken to Royal Blackburn Hospital and was placed in Maggie’s cuddle cot.
The cuddle cot enabled Frankie and her husband Zee to create some everlasting memories with Yusuf and also for me to be able to go to the hospital and meet Yusuf, which was an honour.
Yusuf will always hold a special place in my heart 💙
Frankie & Zee have requested that I use the money they have raised to buy more memory boxes & put towards my group Little Lifetimes 🦋 that supports angel mummies, from pregnancy loss onwards, which Frankie attends.
I honestly can’t thank you guys enough for this massive donation!! It will really help and you both know how much.
💙 Muhammad-Yusuf Hassan 💙

Cuddle cot & cuddle blanket training again yesterday at RBH.

It was one of the smallest groups I’ve trained but it was one where my nerves where bad as “big boss” Amy was there 💜
It’s so important for me to “get this right” and help these staff as much as I possibly can!
A doctor even came in on her day off for the training so that shows how important it is!
ACE to see a member from housekeeping there as well 😍
Thank you ladies for coming along and I hope the training helped you!
……….
A&E family room now have a memory tree as well 💙💜
This is for families to place a heart on when a family member passes away 💔
A beautiful thought and paid for by Heather!! She really is the best 😍

Team work, helping Muslim families & non religious families 👼🏼💜👼🏼💙

Najma & I travelled to BRADFORD HOSPITAL with 15 Adil’s Legacy packs & 10 Maggie’s Legacy boxes.
The staff that came to the donation were lovely. They wanted to know all about Adil & Maggie & why we do what we do!
We can’t wait to be working with this hospital again in our babies memories xx
Thank you so much as always to Blackburn UK Trust for funding the Adil’s Legacy packs.
As some have heartbreakingly already been used, we are seeing how much they are helping families and just how needed they are xx

Some exciting news 💜👼🏼

Maggie’s stillbirth legacy is now TRADEMARKED! ⭐️ 🎉
This might seem like nothing to some people, but it’s a big thing to Mark & I.
This means that if someone tries to steal & falsely use her logo again to raise money they legally CANT!!!
I can’t thank Stacy Coates enough for doing all this for me 😍
You really are the best 😘
Thank you for being as excited as me! Although we need to stop crying together 😂
It’s been a long 6 months wait but Stacy did it!!!
Just another milestone for my baby girl!! She is now “trademarked” for the next 10 years 🥰
