Alder Hey receives their 450th Milly Bag

November saw us making a further delivery of 20 Milly Bags to Ward 3B at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital. We have been supporting the ward for 6 years and have delivered a total of 450 Milly Bags at a cost of £63,000.

It is a privilege to be able to offer this support although we wish with all our hearts that there was simply no need for our Milly Bags.

On this delivery Graeme recruited new volunteer Julie for the day, it was lovely to welcome her to the team and she did a sterling job making sure that all the bags got to the ward safely.

Last year we received a lovely message from an Alder Hey mum who told us just how much having a Milly Bag means:

Just wanted to say a big thank you.

I am currently in Alder Hey hospital with my 7 year old daughter Mia who was formally diagnosed with leukaemia on Friday morning… we are riding the biggest rollercoaster of our lives…

We have been given one of your Milly Bags and Mia whose favourite colour is rainbow, loves the elephant, neck pillow and blanket all in her bed with her as we speak...

I am making good use of the wallet and notebook and you saved my life last night when the baby wipes I brought with me ran out and I remembered I had seen a pack in the bag…

Only 2 days into our journey, already seems so long but I Just wanted to express my appreciation and tell you gestures like this and people like you matter so much.

Thank you
