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 seriously affect their health.

During the colder months, this challenge becomes even greater, 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.
Пакунок Fit For Winter

Each package is not just a set of items, but a symbol of support and care. It contains:
  • Warm blanket and bodysuit designed specifically for preterm babies
  • Tiny hat and socks, which are often hard to find in regular stores
  • Warming pad, diapers, and essential care products
  • Informational materials for parents
Please note: Filling out the form does not guarantee receipt of a package, as the number of packages is limited.

Parents’ Feedback

"The greatest thing is that this is an essential basic set of items that aren't always easy to buy at the nearest pharmacy. Like most parents, we weren't ready for this delivery and had absolutely nothing for the baby. But even now, it's so hard to bring yourself to buy anything in advance when you have no prognosis from the doctors. So this little package is like a small joy and a hope that everything will be okay.)"

"Thank you so much — we loved the package, the items are amazing. The size is exactly right, because you simply can't find this size in stores. Everything is high quality and so needed right now. Thank you to the organizers and volunteers of this wonderful project."

"A heartfelt thank you to the Early Birds organization for the 'Preemie' package 🤍 For a family with a prematurely born baby, this is incredibly important support. The package contains thoughtful, quality items: clothing for the little one, diapers, wipes, and small comforts for the very first days of life. It means so much to feel that someone cares for these little babies with love and warmth. Thank you for your work, your compassion, and your big hearts ❤️"

"I am truly grateful for the Preemie package — it feels like support and care when you are completely overwhelmed by new life circumstances. Seeing the Early Birds poster and the offer of a package felt like a breath of fresh air, like a message saying — you are not alone. A small wish: it would be lovely to have a warmer bodysuit in a smaller size, so we could dress the white outfit set for discharge day — as a celebration of a new chapter for the baby."

"Thank you so much. The fleece bodysuit is absolutely amazing. I had been looking for one with a narrow hood, but you beat me to it and gifted Miyusha a beautiful warm one. The bodysuit with the little hearts is gorgeous quality, though sadly the hat keeps slipping off her head. The socks are incredibly soft — not tight, so warm and cozy. The polka-dot blanket is just adorable, with lovely spring colors — we loved everything. We haven't tried the diapers and wipes yet, but we hope they'll fit — Libero ones run small, and these are for up to 2,500 g. We were born at 1,880 g, but Mia is in a hurry to catch up and already weighs 2,700 g)), and she's still 10 days away from two months — so we're a little speed-loving family)) I can't find any extraordinary words, but I want to thank your entire organization, every single one of you. A sincere thank you. In these quite difficult times, support truly matters, especially for tiny little ones like my Mia. You are truly remarkable People with a capital P — you help from the heart, so we send you hugs from the bottom of ours and wish you peace, harmony, and quiet skies above. And also — you literally saved my night tonight, because our little one's tummy was bothering her constantly, and you included that wonderful cherry pit warmer with lavender in the package. To be honest, I hadn't bought one — I doubted it would actually help. But I placed it on her tummy and she calmed down and fell asleep. Thank you so, so much."

"A huge thank you to the Early Birds organization for supporting us as parents and our little baby boy. You are doing something truly wonderful — because as a mother, I understand how much support is needed during such a difficult time of caring for our little angel. My baby came into this world early, unexpectedly, so I was completely unprepared — nothing had been bought, no clothes, no care items. It is so warm and touching that you care for such tiny babies, providing clothing, diapers, swaddles, and care essentials. Enormous respect and gratitude to you."

"Thank you so much for such a lovely package. The contents are wonderful, but what matters even more is that after receiving it, you feel that you are not alone in your struggles — that there is support!"

"A sincere thank you for such a gift! It is so meaningful and heartwarming when someone cares for such tiny little preemies. And all the items are very practical and will definitely come in handy in the first period of life."

"I am sincerely grateful for the support provided. It means so much. It's not about money — it's about knowing you're not alone, and that is so important during such a difficult time. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to this amazing Preemie package."

"First of all, thank you for how quickly everything was handled! I was pleasantly surprised by how fast the application was processed. Today we were actually being transferred from one ward to another, and we already needed clothes. Perfect timing! Thank you! Second, thank you for the lovely, beautiful, and high-quality items for the little one. It made us so happy, because it is incredibly hard to find such micro sizes at all — and when it comes to something pretty, I won't even go there. It feels wonderful that our tiny baby has beautiful little clothes. It might seem like a small thing, but at the same time it gives you a feeling of normalcy and stability. Third, the set contains a minimal number of items — but exactly the most important and irreplaceable ones. Thank you!"

"Sincerely grateful for the package. The items in it are so sweet and high quality. We will definitely dress our little one in them for discharge from the maternity ward."

"A sincere thank you for the package — because it is not just material help, but truly valuable support for me and my baby. A special thank you for the right-sized clothing — as it turns out, finding clothes for a preemie is a real quest. Wishing your entire team good health, and peace to all of us!"

"A heartfelt thank you for the package 💛 Your support means so much to us during such a difficult time!! Thank you for the kindness and light that you share so generously. Your support gave us a feeling of warmth and faith in people. May all the good you do come back to you tenfold, filling your lives with joy, peace, and blessings. You are a true ray of light in a time of war! 💛"
