Cobblebank Year 8 Fibre

Year 8 Fibre students at Cobblebank Campus have been making cuddle heart donations for the Miracle Babies Foundation.

These hearts are used for newborn babies in intensive care who don’t have cuddle time with their mothers. One heart is placed on the mother’s chest to capture her scent, and the other is placed near the baby. The hearts are then exchanged, allowing both mother and baby to connect, strengthening their bond even when apart.

These donations will be posted to the foundation and distributed to hospitals across Australia. 

Students could also choose to craft capes that will be gifted to children in hospital to wear while they undergo treatments or procedures. They will be sent to Capes 4 Kids and distributed to hospitals across Australia. The “superpowers” in the capes enable little heroes to feel they have a protective barrier to help them fight their illness.
