Although we have shared our target for this year’s fund via Facebook, we have yet to announce the number via our email letter. For our 3rd Annual Loki Sky and His NICU Friends Holiday Fund, we hope to collect $2000. Please help us meet this target.
How far along are we? As of today, December 8th 2011, we already received $1125. Two more weeks to collect another $875, WE CAN DO THIS!
All the donations will benefit financially strained families whose new babies were admitted to the Alta Bates Summit Medical Center NICU in Berkeley, California. The NICU Social Workers, together with the Family Advisory Council, will ensure that families in need receive car seats, cribs, strollers, support with transportation from and to the hospital, or--in some cases--food for older siblings of the NICU baby.
How it all began, and continued:
Christmas 2008: Loki Sky at the calendar age of 2 months and at 33 weeks gestation (that is, 7 weeks before he was expected to be born). The knitted hat was made and given to us by strangers caring for our situation:
Christmas 2009: Our 1st Annual Holiday Fund was a great success. You helped us handout 56 gift bags, 5 massage certificates and approximately $1200 in gift cards for those facing economically difficult circumstances. Here is Loki Sky with some of the 56 gift bags, posing with Nurse Margaret.
Christmas 2010: Our 2nd Annual Holiday Fund was an even bigger success with a total of $3000 donated by you. We were able to buy 64 x $20 gift cards and 64 books, one for each family in the NICU. In addition, you donated enough in order to buy $1450 in gift cards for families who needed help buying car seats, strollers and cribs. The first sorting gift cards and our letter for the NICU families, while we were in Indiana:
Then Team California (Mascha, Anna, Amy, Gabriella, and Alexandra) delivering the gift cards and books to the NICU:
Chrismtas 2011: We hope to deliver a check of $2000 to the NICU over the Holidays. Melissa Harris, member of the Family Advisory Council will accept the check from Mascha, Holiday Fund Representative, together with Misty Schultz, NICU Social Worker Extraordinaire. Photos and stories will be shared as usual.
Help us make it happen!
