Your story could make all the difference
Every family who is supported by Tiny Sparks has a story. The middle-of-the-night worry, the first proper cuddle, the day you finally walked out of the hospital doors with your baby in your arms. Those moments matter, and so does what happened around them. We are building our evidence base to support future grant applications and impact reports, and the most powerful thing we can share is you.
Numbers tell part of the story. What really lands is a parent describing what a program meant to them, and what it meant for their child. Here's how it works. Share a little of your journey, whether that was a NICU or SCN admission, a high-risk pregnancy, or the road home. Then tell us about one of our programs you used and the difference it made. What did it change for you? What did it make possible for your little one? That's the part that helps us show funders why this work needs to keep going. To get you thinking, here are some of the ways families connect with us:
NICU and Bedrest Care Packages, for those first days on the unit or on hospital bedrest
Parent Circle, our online coffee and connection sessions
Baby and Toddler Playgroup, in person supported by Western Kids Health
Fuel vouchers, easing the cost of getting to and from hospital for follow-up
Special occasion gifts, marking the moments that deserve celebrating
Perhaps it was a care package that arrived on a day you needed it most. Perhaps Parent Circle became the one hour a week you felt understood. Whatever it was, we would love to hear it. We would love a photo or two to go with your words, so please pop them in when you submit, along with your consent for us to share your story and images in our grant applications, impact reports and promotional materials. As a small thank you for your time, we have some special gifts to pop in the mail.
