The Cots 4 Tots story

The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation is a nonprofit organization which supports the Marine Corps' annual toy drive. It provides administrative, advisory, financial logistical and promotional assistance to local Toys for Tots Coordinators and a variety of other services that the Marine Corps cannot provide. It also distributes informational and educational materials to the public and assists national corporations to incorporate information about Toys for Tots into their paid advertisements, and conducts an annual program of public education and public relations.

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 and thousands of pounds to support families of premature or sick babies in the West of England and South Wales. Its mission includes family accommodation houses as well as providing the latest equipment for the NICU.

One of the main areas of focus is Cots for Tots House, which is a no-cost "home from home" for families who stay in the hospital. It is located opposite the NICU and allows parents to be close to their baby. The charity has helped over 2100 families stay at the house since.

Families who stay at Cots for Tots House can be reassured that they aren't alone. They have a community of parents who are going through similar experiences and they are able to help each to help each other. Additionally they have access many facilities to make their stays as comfortable as is possible.

The charity also provides a music therapist who visits the NICU to help reduce the stress and pain levels of babies and their parents. It has been proven that this improves the quality of life both for patients and their family members. Music therapy can also reduce the amount of medications needed to treat these children, which can save time and money for hospitals. The therapist uses specially designed resonant musical instruments that are tuned to specific frequencies, and play soothing tunes to calm babies. Resonant instruments can also relax mothers and fathers.
