COLORADO SPRINGS — Babies who are in intensive care need your help. Children's Hospital in Colorado Springs needs at least 25 Isolette covers for their babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
Isolette covers, cover the baby's cribs to protect them from dust, moisture, and noise that can startle them at a young age. Staff at Children's Hospital say the Isolettes allow them to more easily adjust to life outside of the womb.
"The important part is to create normalization within the NICU environment and ICU environment and try to bring some joy to the family," said Erin Havrilla with Children's Hospital Colorado. "So, why we're reaching out to our community partners is just that."
Children's Hospital says you can either donate money to help purchase Isolettes, or you can make one yourself by following these plans.
