Thank you to the wonderful families who donated, Pacific Wall Coverings/Resenes New Plymouth, Freedom Furniture, Masons Appliances, Cleggs Furniture Court and Lions. We are very grateful.
Thanks so much for sharing your personal story!
We get a lot of positive feedback from families in a neonatal unit who read these stories and feel strength, hope and positivity knowing that they are not alone going through these experiences and feeling certain emotions.
If you would like to discuss sharing the story of your neonatal journey, we’d love to hear from you.
