We at 'One Mother To Another' provide gift bags to parents and caregivers who find themselves going through a difficult time in hospital with a sick child. We currently provide a total of 170 gift bags a month to four neonatal and paediatric wards in New Zealand's South Island.Our aim is to comfort and support parents and caregivers who are in hospital in what can be a very vulnerable and distressing time. We try to bridge the gap between 2 strangers and offer understanding and acknowledgement of their difficulty but mostly we want to put a smile on their face and let them know we care about what they are going through. We hope in some way to brighten their day.
