“The resources, care, and encouragement you offer help turn overwhelming times into something a little more manageable, and we’re so grateful for the work you do. It means the world to families in neonatal care to know they’re not alone, and you make sure of that every single day”

“Shoutout to your amazing ladies in Waikato & Auckland NICU. We have finally been discharged from Rotorua today back home to Taupo after being in Waikato & a couple of small stints in Auckland… (Our baby) is smashing it and we’re such proud parents. Your support was amazing! Thank you.”

“I take my wee purple bag everywhere for my son’s tubie bits and pieces. I cannot count the amount of times that little purple bag has helped to strike up a conversation and connected me with other NICU mums”

“This really helped me to step away for even just an hour when I was in SCBU with my boy recently… Plus the korero was super helpful & put me at ease. The sweet treats were pretty awesome too. Jess is amazing”

“It was such a blessing during our unexpected challenging time. It definitely helped us to buy baby items and save money for two weeks. Thank you for being amazing and doing a wonderful service “

“Such a great playgroup!”

“We ended up spending 19 days in SCBU with Jasper, which included Christmas Day. We did not expect the amazing, kind and useful presents from Little Miracles at all, and it made the hugest difference to what was a pretty grim day for us. I was absolutely blown away and in tears. Such unexpected generosity at such a vulnerable time… I’ll remember that forever.”

“Receiving your thoughtful gift pack today brought a tear to our eyes. It was truly heartwarming to see the care and consideration put into every detail, including the te reo Māori milestone cards, which deeply resonate with our values and culture. Your kindness has brought a ray of light into our lives during a time of uncertainty, and for that, we are forever grateful.”

“Thank you so much for granting us the six breast feeding pillows. They have been so well received and well utilised. Many thanks once again from all of us in Hawkes Bay”
