Spending your baby’s first Christmas in hospital can be stressful and have a huge emotional impact on families. We truly understand what families are experiencing because several of our co-founders spent their baby’s first Christmas in NICU too. When establishing Tiny Sparks in 2013 we knew it would be important to assist families to celebrate all of the special occasions, to bring them a little cheer, and to let them know we care.
Since then each year we’ve had the absolute privilege of working with the gorgeous family behind Foote and Flame to create a unique ‘Baby’s 1st Christmas’ ornament. Year on year they have so very generously donated the ornaments to form part of our gift.
Our Crafty Creators have also worked hard each year to ensure a gift made with love, that can be treasured forever is provided to every baby. This year is no exception with hundreds of stockings and quilts received.
We know that any time a baby is separated from their family for medical care has an impact. It doesn’t matter if the separation is a few hours, days, weeks or months, it isn’t the way any family ever imagined it would be. This is why we send gifts out to all hospitals all over our great state of Western Australia. The families in Bunbury, Geraldton, Kalgoorlie, Albany, Broome and others are often overlooked, but need just a such support and care.
As 2021 comes to a close we wish you all a magical holiday period and a healthy and happy 2022.
