Thank You to our Wonderful NIN Volunteers
We received several thank you letters this month.
“Thank you so much for the donation we received this Fourth of July. The gift packs we gave out were a big hit with the moms, and the other items like quilts and burp rags were greatly appreciated by the nursing staff. We depend entirely on donations for our clothing items. Again, thank you for all your talent and hard work.” -- Andrea Rivera, RN, Director of Case Management, Los Nińos Hospital.
The NICU Staff, Banner Children’s Hospital in Mesa wrote: “We just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate all of the beautiful items you bring to us, particularly the most recent donation of blankets. Our families really appreciate these items and it makes all of us feel more at home.”
C. Diane Bishop, Executive Director of Maricopa Health Foundation sent a detailed list of our last donation and ended, “Thank you for your kind and generous support of the infants at Maricopa Medical Center.”
“Once again, I want to thank you sincerely for your recent donation. What beautiful work you do!! The layettes are so beautiful and so useful for our families in need. The little burial layettes, too, are so necessary for our bereaved families and the nurses that take care of the baby. Your organization is so supportive of our hospital maternity department and we are so grateful. The patriotic quilts, so perfect for our isolettes during this month…we use them to cover the isolettes. We were low on the knitted hats and now our basket is full in the nursery. Thank you so much!” – Vicki VandenHeuvel, RN, Chandler Regional Hospital.
Continuing Needs
St. Joseph’s Hospital needs more memory envelopes. Mini-memory envelopes are needed for Phoenix Children’s Hospital. Also needed by several hospitals are clothes for babies in NICUs (open shoulder shirts are especially needed) and medium-size preemie and newborn burial layettes (especially for boys). THANKS!
