Support Packages FIT FOR WINTER

The project is closed!

Preterm birth is the delivery of a baby before the 36th week and 6 days of pregnancy. Babies born prematurely have not yet fully developed, so they require special care. One of the greatest challenges they face is maintaining body heat, since their temperature regulation system is still underdeveloped. Due to a lack of fat stores, they lose heat quickly, which can affect their health.

During the colder months, this problem becomes more severe, and families of prematurely born babies need additional support. That is why we launched the FIT FOR WINTER project — to provide these babies with warmth and essential care items.

Each package is not just a set of items, but a symbol of support and care.
It contains:

Warm blanket and overall designed specifically for preterm babies
Tiny hat and socks, which are often not available in regular stores
Warmer, diapers, and essential care products
Informational materials for parents

Please note: Filling out the form does not guarantee automatic receipt of the package, as the number of sets is limited.

Who receives the support package?

Only for families with premature babies (born before 36 weeks and 6 days of pregnancy, weighing less than 2500 g).
