Dear CAA Member/Friend:
Approximately 20 percent of the 100 babies born each month at the Carlos Luis Valverde Vega Hospital in San Ramón need extra care and attention. Perhaps it is because the mom is impoverished with extremely limited resources or the baby is premature and has special needs. To help with this challenge, each month a group of talented and committed “Blankets for Babies” volunteers creates and delivers 20 newborn welcome bundles to the hospital. Each bundle consists of a plastic changing mat, a blanket, burping cloths, rubber pants, reusable diapers, and a toy. Mothers of premature babies also receive a carrying sling.
