Having a child stillborn is devastating, with the pain of letting go of a child so quickly after birth unimaginable.<\/p>\n
A local family is seeking to raise funds for a CuddleCot\u2122 by Flexmort\u00ae to be given to Van Wert County Hospital.<\/p>\n
The CuddleCot\u2122 is a cooled bassinet in which stillborn babies are placed, preventing the need for the child to be taken to and from the morgue repeatedly, and is the best solution for a grieving family at this point.<\/p>\n
A GoFundMe account has been established in memory of Beau Flory, son of Eric and Kaila Flory, and is focused on funding a CuddleCot\u2122 for the local hospital. The founders of the page believe very strongly that every birthing unit should be equipped with such a device. Unfortunately, the units, which cost $3,000, are expensive, and difficult for a single family to fund by itself.<\/p>\n
Organizers are hoping that, with combined donations, the goal can be met and the transition for families of stillborn infants can be made smoother.<\/p>\n
Those wanting to donate can do so at www.gofundme.com\/rs2rqtym<\/a>.
