The Little Miracles Trust provides support to the whānau of premature and critically ill full-term babies, as they make their journey through neonatal intensive care and special care units, the transition home, and onwards.
This is done in many ways: cot-side peer support in every New Zealand NICU, the provision of Emergency Care Packs on entry to every unit; morning teas to bring whānau and experts together; resources to support hardship; and a national network of post-discharge playgroups.
We have passionate and dedicated team members based in Auckland, Middlemore, Hamilton, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin NICUs supported by a back-office team. Most of our team have first-hand experience of time in a NICU or SCBU. So we know exactly what it’s like – and just how to help.
