We decided that we wanted to something in honor of our daughter, Alivia, for her birthday. Our daughter, Alivia Agnes, died in Meriter's NICU on July 24, 2008. She was born on July 23, and spend her 34 hours of life in the NICU at Meriter. Alivia's one year birthday is coming up in a few months. . We know that Meriter's NICU is always in need of onesies, sleepers, crib sheets, blankets, etc. We thought we would hold a donation drive for the next 3 months and in the month of July donate everything we have to Meriter's NICU. Everyone in the NICU was so amazing to us when we were there we want to be able to help them and help families find comfort while their babies are there fighting to live.
The donation drive will officially start Wednesday, April 1st, 2009, and run through July 23, 2009, Alivia's 1st birthday. More information will be added through the next several days. Everything will be ready to go on Wednesday!
Let's come together and work together to make this a great success!
