Miracle Babies Appeal

Our mission is to provide support to families throughout Australia during their journey through a Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU), the transition to home and onwards.

Miracle Babies originated through, and is closely aligned with, Liverpool Public Hospital in Sydney, earmarked to be the biggest hospital in the southern hemisphere. Founding members of Miracle Babies are all mothers who have experienced the birth of a premature or sick newborn. We understand the emotions of fear, love, guilt and elation and have learned to triumph over the challenges a premature or sick birth can bring.

We are here to share our strength and knowledge, to help families celebrate their own miracle babies.

How will the funds be used?

Miracle Babies is a not for profit organisation that was formed in August 2005. Our Charity is 100% self funded and we rely heavily on the support of our members and the community.

Every donation helps to provide us with vital support to expand our services to families in need. We currently provide emotional and practical support to families through hospital visits, playgroups, an online forum, free quarterly magazine, a 1300 phone number and annual picnic.

Our Contribution to Date:

To date, with the help of the community and our members, we have been able to help Liverpool Hospital's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in the following ways:

• A BRAINZ Machine
• 5 new breastfeeding chairs
• A new Syringe Driver for administering small amounts of fluid
• DVD player for training staff
• Digital camera and printer
• $100,000 set aside towards onsite parent accommodation
• $10,000 towards a new parent handbook
• Gift bags for families on special occasions such as mother's and father's days and Christmas
• Miracle Babies Project Memory Box offers solace to families who are grieving the loss of a child by providing a beautiful keepsake memory box and matching photo album/scrapbook. We have also expanded this service by providing a small memory box and photo album upon discharge from NICU to the premature and sick newborns going into foster care.
• With the help of St John's Park Bowling Club we have been able to provide two new Bilibeds to treat babies with jaundice on the maternity ward and two new breast pumps.
