Read Jothi’s story

“All the consultants in the neonatal unit said repeatedly, ‘early intervention is key’ which is why we feel so strongly that all children like Jothi need access to support like we have with Dame Vera Lynn Children’s Charity.”

– Jothi’s Mum, Kate

Born by emergency c-section at 32 weeks, Jothi spent his first 24 hours on a ventilator and the first 93 days of his life in the neonatal intensive care unit. His personal growth since coming to DVLCC is remarkable.

Albert has come on leaps and bounds. Now, our little boy runs around the park, which we never thought would happen. Without the help of the charity, he just wouldn’t be where he is now.
