We are collecting money for layettes for babies who go with their mothers to the Gdańsk Helps Ukraine centre!
We are not slowing down! We have collected over PLN 11,000 to equip care rooms for mothers and babies who, after fleeing war-torn Ukraine, are sent to the Gdańsk Helps Ukraine coordination point. With the funds donated by the Olivia Centre Community, we bought soft blankets, cones to wrap babies, bottles, pacifiers, breast pumps and many, many other urgently needed things.
Together, we decided that we wanted to continue helping, because the time spent in the childcare room at the coordination point is just the beginning.
Volunteers of the Gdańsk Helps Ukraine Centre signalled to us the need to prepare packages with the most necessary care and hygiene products that mothers could take with them, regardless of where they find shelter.
One package includes, m.in: a large pack of diapers, wet wipes, breast pads, a pack of cloth diapers, a pacifier, a bottle, cream for the baby and for the mother, a blanket and a baby toy. It’s not much, but it’s also a lot. The cost of one package is PLN 350.
- The PLN 50 you pay is a pack of diapers or 10 cloth diapers.
- PLN 30 is a specialist care cream or a baby toy.
- For PLN 20 we can buy a pack of breast pads or a two-pack of care wipes.
We will be able to complete and deliver packages for babies on an ongoing basis, even before the full amount is collected, but our goal is to collect the amount for 20 full sets. It’s an easier start for 20 moms and their babies.
And together we can do even more!
PS. There are 12,000 of us working at Olivia Centre on a daily basis. We differ from each other in terms of age, positions and companies. We come from different districts, cities and even countries. But our community is united by passions and initiatives that change the world for the better. This time, we want Ukrainian mothers and their children to feel cared for when they come to our city. Thanks to the fundraiser, we can more easily raise funds for packages that will help mothers and toddlers in the new, difficult reality.
