Each year the Vacation Bible School chooses a project for an offering. In past years, our offering has supported mosquito netting, Habitat Housing, water purification. This year’s project has been children helping children through a special offering given to McCullough Hyde’s Neonatal Unit.
The Neonatal Unit cares for babies less than 28 days of age. Through VBS, children and adults have contributed their pennies, nickels, dimes and dollars to give to McCullough baby swings for children who have been born with a substance use disorder. After the moment of birth, the babies experience withdrawal. The babies then exhibit restlessness, agitation, and express this discomfort through crying. The motion of the swing is soothing to the baby and calms them down so that they can be held and nurtured. The swinging motion gives the nurses in that unit one more tool to help these babies who are experiencing withdrawal.
Pam Collins, the Chief Patient Services Officer and the whole Neonatal Unit is so appreciative of this gift of over $600. It will allow them to buy more than one swing and other items of equipment, which will help these little ones.
