Michelle Olesiak hasn't added a story.
Expecting parents hope for a healthy baby and a perfect birth, but some babies require extra care. Rush Copley has one of the nation's top Level III neonatal intensive care units.
One of Rush Copley's NICU nurses started a reading program with a mobile book cart that parents can choose a book from and bring it to their child's bedside and read to their baby. In addition to having books available to parent's while their baby is in the NICU, her vision is to be able to send a book home with every baby to promote early reading. Early reading to babies can advance development, foster creativity, and build a life-long love of learning. For Rush Copley NICU's tiniest patients, it provides so much more
Reading time is family bonding time for NICU babies. The rewards of reading a story to the baby gives the parents the sense of peace and relief that their child can hear their voice & helps pass the time when there isn't much else you can do.
Please help me in raising money to provide a library full of AMAZING children's books for Rush Copley's NICU. Usborne Books & More will match ALL donations by 50%!! My goal is to reach $1000 in donations so we can provide over $1500 worth of books to the NICU families. Any donation big or small is GREATLY appreciated! I know how much of a difference this will make not only for the NICU families but for building up a library so they can start their 'take home a book' reading program!!
If you would like a book donated in
honor of your NICU warrior(s), please message me their name(s) and I
will add a book plate to one of the donated books.
