San Diego, CA–Nonprofit Miracle Babies is kicking off their 3rd annual Christmas in July toy drive to serve families with hospitalized infants.
From July 18 to 25, Miracle Babies will transform their conference room into Santa’s Workshop. The event will be held by appointment only at 8745 Aero Drive, Suite 308 in San Diego.
Families can visit “Santa’s Workshop,” and choose three donated toys to wrap and gift to siblings of the baby in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Miracle Babies is working with hospitals and social workers to identify families in need and schedule shopping appointments to help minimize contact and provide an exclusive shopping experience.
Distroller World, a retail entertainment brand that exists to overwhelm the world with joy by pushing the limits of imagination and creativity through unique experiences and storytelling, donates 20 Neonate Babies to the event. The Neonate Babies intend to help demonstrate the delicate care process similar to those of hospitalized newborns to child siblings of babies in the NICU. Each Neonate Baby is born small and fragile and comes with special care instructions on feeding, bathing, and more.
“We are thankful for the opportunity to help Miracle Babies achieve its mission of uniting families with their critically ill newborns,” said Distroller Founder Amparo “Amparin” Serrano. “Through the Neonate Babies, we hope to bring joy and comfort to families during challenging times.”
Miracle Babies is dedicated to helping perinatal mothers and their families during their time of need by providing transportation, mental health assistance, and supportive services.
“The unexpected NICU journey is one that no parent hopes to experience,” said Miracle Babies President & Founder Dr. Sean Daneshmand. “Christmas in July aims to bring families together and acknowledge parents and siblings alike who undergo the emotional hardship of having a baby in the NICU.”
Miracle Babies welcomes new toys for infants to age 16. Community members can drop off or ship directly to Miracle Babies now through July 18.
