YAY!! With your extraordinary generosity we've raised enough funds to give 300 extra special Christmas Day care packages to parents in hospital with a sick child on Christmas Day!! Thank you so very very much! But we think any parent or caregiver who is in hospital over the festive season deserves some extra support.
While most families are soaking up the sunshine together and having a well deserved break in December/ January, hundreds of parents and whānau will be in a sterile (and hot) hospital ward as their newborn receives lifesaving treatment in a neonatal unit or their child is cared for in the paediatric wards. They won't be unwinding at the beach, instead their stress levels and sleep deprivation will be at an all time high.
One Mother to Another provides a generous, practical and touching care packages of support (including a handwritten note) to those in this situation. We want them to know they are seen, and not alone!
So given the momentum of generosity, with your help we'd love to continue raising funds for One Mother to Another care packages to be given to mothers fathers and caregivers over the holiday season.
Let's see how far into January we can get!
Each pack costs $25.
(One Mother to Another provides 420 care packages of support every month to mothers and whānau in 13 South Island hospital wards!)
