Thank You Note from NICU Recipient - Feb 2026
Letter from the NICU |
"I wanted to reach out and say thank you. My daughter was born on August 27th of this year and she spent 9 days in the NICU. On the day she was born I was able to choose from a few quilts made by women in your organization, specifically Paulette. The quilt is gorgeous and made the stay in the NICU a little better. It gave something prettier to put over top of her while she slept and it felt so special to have something personal for her. It will and has been cherished greatly over these months and months & years to come. I still wrap her in it everyday. It reminds me of our stay in the NICU and how far we have come since then.
What your organization does is so special, which I’m sure you know. Having a baby in the NICU is not easy but having something like a quilt gifted to your baby makes things a little happier. Hopefully you are able to pass on a huge thank you to Paulette from my daughter & I. I appreciate everything the ladies do. This is a wonderful gift to the NICU & the families who have babies staying there. |
Visiting twins home from the NICU
|
These beautiful twin boys, born this spring, had to spend some time in the Vancouver and Kelowna NICU.
They each received a quilt from our NICU program and the mother wants to send a thank you to the makers. She appreciated the quilts covering the incubators in the NICU and is using them at home as well! |
Thank you from Charlotte |
Comment My twins were recently born prematurely at Kelowna General Hospital. We are currently residing in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and expect to be here for some time. As soon as we arrived we were given a wonderful, vibrant quilt made by “Karen B”. Everyone that comes to our room comments on how beautiful our quilt is. We will treasure it forever. Thank you so very much for your kind donation. Charlotte Fahy and Family. |

Hi Liz,
We wanted to thank you for the beautiful quilt we were given last May during our week long stay at the Kelowna NICU. It was such a sweet thing to receive when we arrived on a 2 am transfer from home. We love it and will cherish it for a long time! Many thanks Violet, Colin and baby Tilia ❤️ |
