Out in Porirua today?

Today is the final day Postie Porirua Centre is collecting pyjama donations in support of Jammies for June! If you’re in the area, head in store and pick up a pair for a child in hospital this winter. It’s a simple way to make a real difference for local tamariki.

If you’re not able to make it in store, there are lots of other ways to support Jammies for June. Head online to see how you can support sick kids this winter! www.jammiesforjunewellington.org.nz ❄️

A huge thank you to Postie for supporting Jammies for June, and to everyone who has donated so far!

Happy World Human Milk Donation Day!

Since last July, 59 generous women have contributed just under 400 litres of breast milk to Pātaka Miraka (Wellington Hospital's Milk Bank), a service which was made possible by the Foundation's community funding in 2021.

Altogether, the milk bank has now pasteurised approximately 1,742 litres, this incredible number has supported not only our NICU but many other units around the country.

Because of donor kindness and the amazing gift of their milk, Pātaka Miraka are able to provide safe milk to premature or sick babies when māmā’s milk isn’t available. This support eases the emotional burden on families, helping them focus on nourishing their little ones and navigating the NICU journey.

A heartfelt thank you from Pātaka Miraka and the Foundation to our donors for their impact on countless tiny lives 🤗

Thanks to donor support, Hutt Hospital staff are now training with two new neonatal life support manikins!

These modern, reliable manikins are already making a difference by supporting weekly simulation training and bi-monthly courses that help teams across the region build confidence in critical situations.

Previously, staff were borrowing manikins that weren’t fit for purpose. Now, with consistent access across Emergency, midwifery, ICU and beyond, teams are better equipped to provide the best care for our smallest patients.

Thank you Nick Reid and the team for showing us a manikin in action and sharing the impact these additions will make at Hutt Hospital.

We’re wrapping newborns in love this Mothers Day.💝

All NICU, SCBU, and new mums at Wellington Regional Hospital, Kenepuru Hospital, Hutt Hospital, and Kapiti Maternity Unit will receive a special handmade quilt this Mother’s Day.

These beautiful quilts are lovingly crafted by our amazing volunteer quilters, a huge thank you to Sue Grimwood, Shanon Peters, and the Busy Bee Quilt Shop Quilting Group for their ongoing support!

“It is a real pleasure being able to gift these beautiful one of a kind quilts to new Mothers. Our volunteers work hard to produce around 100 handmade quilts in time for Mother’s Day every year. We are very fortunate to have such talented and generous people.”

- Paula Richards, Head of Volunteering, Wellington Hospitals Foundation.

The Force was with us this week! 💫

Te Wao Nui Child Health Service was thrilled to receive an incredible delivery of Star Wars and other LEGO sets generously donated by Outpost 42 501st Legion and LEGO store Wellington, in celebration of the week of May 4th.

The sets were gratefully received by the team, including Megan Stothart, Play Specialist, and Lynne Cowley, Charge Nurse Manager, and are sure to bring hours of fun and imagination to the children and families at Te Wao Nui.

A huge thank you to the Outpost 42 Garrison crew - an all-volunteer organisation that brings Star Wars to life through high-quality costumes and community charity.

For some children, hospital becomes a second home.

Zara and her little brother Zeke have both spent much of their young lives in and out of hospital, facing complex and ongoing care no child should. The physical and emotional toll of long stays and procedures on them and their whānau is what makes providing a simple pair of pyjamas so meaningful.

Through Jammies for June, you can keep Wellington kids like Zara and Zeke warm and well this winter by donating to help us provide cosy jammies to those who need them most. Bringing warmth and comfort to sick kids while they recover from unexpected hospital visits.

Donate online today at www.jammiesforjunewellington.org.nz 💛
