Preemie Diaper Day

The next two days the item being collected are preemie diapers. These will be given to the parents as they finally leave the hospital with their newborn and go home to start their lives. While diapers may not be the most exciting item, they are certainly at the top of most "newborn necessities" lists!

It is difficult to put ourselves in the situation that so many parents find themselves in, but I hope that through reading about the March of Dimes NICU Family Support Program at UAB those situations and circumstances are awakening the sense of need that this program and the families have each day. I often have put myself in the position of the parents in the NICU and realize that the support of my family and friends would be what I would need to get myself through that. However, as mentioned previously in this blog, many families are far from home with few, if any, loved ones close by to provide the simple things...like diapers.
