Main aim of the charity

Main Aim for this project is to help prematurely born children and parents that have this hard life experience and that together children with parents will be tuff times to go thru this very hard situation, as children and parents will have to stay in hospital for weeks and some time even for months to get in shape before going home. This project helped to buy two special chairs, that parents can sit in special position called "Kangaroo pose" when parent have his prematurely born child on his breast area, that the child can feel mothers or fathers heart beat, warm from parents body and feel how parents breath, that child can know what is correct way to breath as these children are daily 24/7 connected to a lot of systems, that helps child to breath, eat, see pulse. Its not describable, not lot of parents who has these children wants to talk about time, that has been done in hospital. Some of these children weight is under 1kg! And these kind of children % in world is grooving, in Latvia % of these prematurely born children is 7% of all born children. I know that my project has influence to some people in DHL Latvia and outside.
