Can you help a vulnerable newborn?

There are many reasons parents and carers need help to provide the essentials for their newborns. We have three simple ways you can help them right now.

Will you give today and join the village these newborns so desperately need? [[link removed]]

Dear Friend,

It takes a village to raise a child.

We have all heard that saying, and many of us have seen firsthand how true it really is. But what happens to those newborns that don’t have the village they so desperately need? When they are missing the support network that should step in when times are tough?

You can be there for them. You can be the village for the most vulnerable among us. You [[link removed]] can help provide the essential items these newborns need to keep them secure, safe and able to thrive. You can help give them the best start in life possible.

Please [[link removed]] donate today and help give one of our most requested essential items to a newborn in need:

Donate $59 today and give the gift of WARMTH [[link removed]]

Just $59 can provide a bundle of clothes to keep babies warm for a whole year. Our amazing volunteers lovingly create bundles of clothing with enough items to last a full 12 months, all four seasons. The bundles have all the basics a newborn needs to take them through the year. Imagine [[link removed]]the relief on a parent's face when they receive a clothing bundle and know their little one will be warm and cosy this winter.

Donate $123 today and give the gift of FREEDOM [[link removed]]

A gift of $123 can restore a pre-loved pram and get it to a family that simply cannot afford one. Here at Our Village, we call prams “Freedom Machines” – and they really are. They allow parents and caregivers to get out of the house and make it to important appointments. They allow babies to experience the outside world, learn about their environment and give opportunities for socialisation. They are critical for the wellbeing of both the child and the caregiver. Your [[link removed]] gift of a pram, instantly relieves the stress of a busy parent trying to get out the door.

Donate [[link removed]] $201 today and give the gift of SAFETY [[link removed]]

We all know how critical a safe sleep environment is for a newborn. Just $201 today can provide a safe place for a vulnerable baby to sleep. We send out refurbished cots in excellent condition and meeting Australian safety standards, along with a mattress and a full set of bedding, to create a safe, warm and nurturing environment for babies to sleep. You [[link removed]] know the importance of safe sleep – your gift of a cot to a vulnerable newborn is life-changing.

These are the vital essentials that vulnerable families need for their babies and children right now. We know there are many other desperately needed items and we provide those too. We also re-home car seats, highchairs, safety gates, playpens and baby baths right across Victoria – to over 20,000 babies and children last year.

A very generous gift of $1070 today can provide the ‘Whole Kit and Caboodle’ – all the material essentials needed for a newborn. [[link removed]]

When you make a gift, you are joining a very special village of support, giving a vulnerable newborn the chance to thrive. We [[link removed]] rely on your support to [[link removed]]keep our warehouse doors open and to continue to provide our vital service to babies and children in your community. It takes a Village. Give now and join Ours. [[link removed]]

Thank you for your support,

Ruth Holdaway MBE

Chief Executive Officer, Our Village
