The Maia Mouse Foundation was entered onto the Register of Charities on 12 December 2016 and was set up by Joe and Gemma Baum after losing their beloved daughter, Maia Olivia Baum. Maia lost her battle with a complex life limiting condition at the age of eleven months and her parents decided that they would help other families in situations similar to their own. Recognising that living with a child with a life limiting condition puts an enormous strain on the family, the Maia Mouse Foundation fundraises to provide financial support, by way of grants, to give families the opportunity to make memories with their children.
