Kozies from Katie assembles and delivers care packages made for critically ill infants at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO).

Our goal is to deliver a "Kozies from Katie" care package to every baby admitted to either the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) or the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at CHEO for more than an “observation period”. "Kozies" are filled with items to emotionally and physically nourish these very sick babies during their stay in the unit.

When an infant is admitted to Intensive Care, it is most often via the Emergency department. For parents, it is an extremely traumatic event, and they often do not have time to gather their child's belongings, including basic items.

In order to reach each infant our fundraising goal for 2009 is $7,500. Every dollar raised goes directly to purchasing items for each package. All services and other costs are donated by volunteers.
