Help sought for premature baby girl
The infant was understood to be her mother’s fourth child and was reportedly placed into foster care as a result of her parents being unable to take care of her.
A nursery, situated in Magalieskruin, north of Pretoria, is seeking assistance for their most recent addition – a newborn premature baby girl.
“Our smallest baby is in need of premature clothes,” Rock of Hope co-founder Mientjie Prozesky said.
The baby girl, referred to as baby L to protect her identity, was reportedly born nine weeks early.
“Baby L was born at 31 weeks,” she said.
The infant was understood to be her mother’s fourth child and was reportedly placed into foster care as a result of her parents being unable to take care of her.
“Although she now weighs 1.6 kg, she is still very small, but strong,” Prozesky said.
She added that Baby L was drinking breast milk which was donated for their premature, newborn and HIV babies.
While Baby L’s immediate needs were clothes, Prozesky said the other things they need for the month of January included:
– Newborn baby towels (pink and blue)
– Huggies premature baby nappies (red pack)
– NAN AR
– Toiletries for five older children
– Angelcare cartridges for their nappy bin
– Non-perishable food
– Mince/viennas or fish fingers
– Washing powder and Stasoft
– Cleaning materials
– Dis-Chem voucher for medicine
– Funds for their running costs, salaries, electricity bill, diesel and their day-to-day expenses.
Those interested in donating baby items or making donations to the nursery and home for abandoned babies and toddlers could contact her husband and co-founder Wouter Prozesky on 079-423-4799.
