We were thrilled to be able to donate 20 gift bags to Doctors Medical Center NICU in Modesto on May 6th, 2011. We originally only planned to donate 14 more bags to Oakland Children's Hospital NICU for our Mother's Day delivery. However, because of some things happening in Oakland, we were unable to donate to them before Mother's Day. Luckily, we were able to get ahold of the right people at Doctors and, because of many unexpected donations, we were able to donate enough gift bags for each baby and some extra for those who may be admitted. This hospital is special to us because Owen was born and spent his first 3 weeks in their NICU.
Along with the 20 gift bags we donated, we also donated Mother's Day bracelets and suckers for all the mothers spending their first Mother's Day in the NICU with their precious little one. It is so hard to be in the NICU with your little baby struggling for life, especially when a holiday passes by. Owen spent many of his first holidays in the NICU. It was important for me to be able to donate during Mother's Day. I hope that these small gifts put smiles on many moms spending their special day with their little one in the NICU.
Thank you to all who made this donation possible! Thanks to all who bought a Mother's Day bracelet! It was a great success!
