"Isabella’s Umbrella was created in the memory of a very special little
girl, Isabella Rose. Izzie was born with a heart defect and unexpectedly spent her short six weeks here with us in the NICU’s
of the Foothills Hospital, the Alberta’s Children Hospital, and finally the Stollery Hospital where she was waiting
to have a heart surgery.
The experience of staying with your baby in a NICU environment can be very challenging
at times. We have learned from our personal experience, that the little things we can do for one another are not that
little at all. In that spirit, we have created “Isabella’s Umbrella Comfort Bags” for the babies and families
of the NICU’s. In our comfort bags, we are providing some daily necessity items for the parents such as toothbrushes,
toothpaste, lotion etc. We are also providing some very special items for the babies. These include a clothing item (hat,
mittens, or booties), a homemade blanket, and a story book that can be shared between the baby and their parents."
