We do this by
supporting families
through a time that no one is prepared for.
A newborn surrounded by monitors and tubes, not hugs and cuddles. A hospital stay lasting weeks or months, not hours or days. Eyes filled with tears of sadness and worry, not tears of happiness and joy.
These are the times you need someone who knows what you’re going through to tell you it’s going be alright. Someone who can give you the kind of support and resources that will make all the difference.
Support for your stage of the journey
There are many different journeys that parents can take when their baby needs neonatal care. Every experience is unique, and it’s important to find the information, support, and path that feels right for you and your whānau.
Explore the options below to discover helpful resources, real stories from other families, and guidance to support you – wherever you are on this journey. You’re not alone. We’re here alongside you

About
The Little Miracles Trust
Originally called The Neonatal Trust, we were established in 1986 by two Wellington families with extremely premature babies. We are a registered not-for-profit which now operates right across New Zealand.
The Trust works to provide and coordinate support to the whānau of premature and sick full-term babies, as they make their journeys through neonatal intensive care, the transition home, and onwards.
