It's tough having your baby in hospital, and even harder during the festive season. 🤱
.
Daniela's son Charlie was born at 28+3 weeks and is currently in Monash Children's hospital. She joined us for our NICU Connections Xmas event and filled in a stocking for Charlie. It's a lovely way for parents to celebrate their little one, and also connect with others in hospital, reminding them they are not alone through the Christmas period.
.
To help her cope emotionally, Daniella has been recording bits of her NICU story on scraps of paper she finds in her handbag. Today she was overjoyed to receive a 'Premmie Journal' as part of her gift from us, in the 'Little Bag of Calm' – where she can record everything in one place, including little Charlie's milestones as they happen.
.
It may not seem much, but these things make all the difference to parents who are struggling to comprehend their unexpected premature birth. Knowing you're not alone, that there is support when you need it, someone to explain hospital jargon, as well as a shoulder to cry on or a cheer squad to encourage you is so important and the reason why we exist. We've all been through the prem experience. We get it and we want to make sure every family in hospital is able to be supported in their moment of need. With your support we can. Please consider donating to our Christmas fundraising appeal this year and share the gift of joy with a family who really needs some! 🧡 ... See MoreSee Less
