Loki Sky's Holiday Gift Drive

33 More Gifts

Thank you for your generous offers and your interest in Loki's gift drive for the Alta Bates NICU. We are well on the way, but certainly not where we want, and need, to be. I am grateful for all your contributions, and am looking forward to the promised contributions and gifts so I can do the shopping, start the wrapping, take a deep breath and know we will meet our goal :-)

Loki spent the Holidays in 2008 in the NICU and so did we. Those days were often scary and insecure. Fortunately we had wonderful primary nurses, friends and family who helped us celebrate the season the best we could. The gifts, cards and drawings we found at Loki’s bedside were such an uplifting and hopeful experience. Our little guy, still six weeks away from his supposed birth date, was loved and well taken care of.

We wish to offer the families in the Alta Bates NICU this upcoming Holiday Season some of this hope, love and sense of care. We need your help…….

What you can do: purchase a baby toy, book, preemie clothes or baby blanket* and send or drop off at our home before December 10th 2009. We will bag the gifts and put little notes in there with your name on it if you like (e.g. The Smith Family sends you love and strength from Bedford Falls).

If you don’t have time: No problem, we can do the shopping for you, just let us know (email XXXX)

Our goal: collect 60 gifts, this is the maximum occupancy rate at the NICU.

Where to send/drop off your gift: our home (we did move in June so please let us know if you do not have the correct information).

Please help us celebrate all those new, fragile and precious lives and share the message with your friends and family!

Thank You!

* We ask that all items are newly purchased as babies at the NICU have lower immune systems

Christmas 2008, little guy growing bigger already!
