Thanks to Siobhan Abrahams for donating books to support bereaved parents
During lockdown A&E Pharmacist, Siobhan Abrahams took up painting canvases as part of a distraction technique.
People soon started asking to buy these lovely paintings of cows and Siobhan chose to donate the money to Northamptonshire Health Charity.
The first £500 raised went to the A&E department at Northampton General Hospital, where Siobhan works.
The money raised from sales of further paintings, Siobhan purchased an initial batch of 40 support books (Saying Goodbye) for parents who have lost a baby.
These were donated to the bereavement midwives at the hospital and they were followed by a second batch of books, The Baby Loss Guide.
A huge thanks to you Siobhan for supporting people at such a difficult time.
