The Cots 4 Tots story
The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation is a non-profit foundation that supports the Marine Corps' annual toy drive. It offers financial, advisory, administrative, logistical and promotional support to local Toys for Tots Coordinators and many other services that the Marine Corps cannot provide. It also provides educational and informative materials to the general public, and arranges for national corporations to include information about Toys for Tots in their paid advertisements and conducts a public education and publicity program each year.
The Cots 4 Tots story began in the year 2010 with a fundraising appeal to Bristol's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at St Michael's Hospital. Since its inception, the charity has raised tens of thousands of pounds to support families who have sick or premature babies in the West of England and South Wales. Its mission is to provide families with accommodation houses as well as the latest equipment for the NICU.
Cots for Tots House is an "home away from home" for families staying in the hospital. It is located next to the NICU which allows parents to be close to their infants. The charity has helped over 2,100 families stay in the house since.
Families who reside at Cots For Tots House are reassured they are not alone. They are part of a group of parents who are going through the same thing as them and they can support each other out. They also have access to a variety of facilities that will make their stay as pleasant as is possible.
The charity also funds musicians who visit the NICU to help reduce stress and pain for both parents and their babies. It has been proven this improves the quality of life for the patient and their family members. Music therapy can also reduce the amount of medication required to treat children, saving money and time for the hospitals. The therapist employs specially designed instruments that resonate, which are tuned to specific frequencies, and play soothing tunes to calm babies. The resonant musical instruments can also help relax fathers and mothers.
