The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation is a nonprofit organization that helps fund the Marine Corps' annual toy drive. It provides administrative, advisory, financial logistical and promotional assistance to local Toys for Tots Coordinators and various other services that the Marine Corps cannot provide. It also provides educational and informative materials to the general public. It also organizes for national companies to include information about Toys for Tots in their paid advertisements and conducts an education and public relations program each year.
The Cots 4 Tots story began in 2010 with a fund-raising appeal to Bristol's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) located at St Michael's Hospital. Since its beginning the charity has raised tens and thousands of pounds to assist families of premature or sick babies in the West of England and South Wales. Its work includes providing accommodation for families in homes and the provision of state-of-the-art equipment for the NICU.
Cots for Tots House provides a "home away from home" for families staying in the hospital. It is located right next to the NICU and allows parents to stay close to their baby. The charity has helped over 2,100 families stay at the house since 2012.
Families staying at Cots For Tots House are reassured they are not on their own. They can discuss their experiences with other parents experiencing the same issue. Additionally, they have access to numerous facilities to make their stays as comfortable as is possible.
The charity also supports an artist who visits the NICU to ease 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 decrease the amount of time needed to treat children, saving hospitals both time and money. The therapist uses specially-designed resonant devices that are tuned to specific frequencies and play soothing tunes for babies. Additionally, the resonant instruments also create vibrations that help relax the mothers and fathers.

The Cots 4 Tots website is the home of a special charity raising money for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at St Michael's Hospital in Bristol. The charity is part of Wallace Gromit's Grand Appeal and also funds Cots for Tots House, which offers free 'home from home' accommodation for families with children being treated in the neonatal intensive care unit. It has helped hundreds of families over the last decade.
Abbey Silvester's babies Alfie and Mollie were in St Michael's Hospital's neonatal intensive unit. She claims that Cots for Tots "was an absolute godsend" and her family would not have been able to cope without it. "You meet new friends here, you build an atmosphere of community and bond with one another," said she. "Without it who can say what our lives would have been like."
It is crucial to make the right decision for your baby when selecting a cot. There are many sizes and styles which is why you should think about what you need long-term. A cot must be sturdy and have railings that are sturdy. It must also be easy to clean and have a mattress that can be removed. Some cots have an adjustable height base that can be ideal for young children.
Moving is stressful for everyone and for parents with children, it's even more stressful. They have to cope with a baby and all the additional issues that come with it. However, by making some important preparations and hiring a vehicle transport company in advance, you can ensure that your move is smooth.
