Texas Children’s Hospital Spiritual Care Department is asking you and your faith community to consider participating in No Crib For A Bed, a program that helps provide safe-sleeping accommodations to children and families in need.
Due to limited resources, many families in the Greater Houston area are forced to co-sleep with their infants. Such sleeping accommodations pose serious risks of injury and possible death to a child. The Spiritual Care Department is trying to minimize such risks by facilitating the provision of new mobile cribs, such as Pack N Plays, and new baby blankets to families in need. Along with the mobile cribs and blankets, the department, through its No Crib For A Bed program, provides safe sleep information provided by our Childhood Injury Prevention Department.
Donations of the mobile cribs and blankets and/or money are facilitated through various faith communities throughout the area.
“We are asking you to help and to please discuss with your faith community about donating one or more new Pack N Plays and a corresponding new baby blanket,” said Chaplain James Denham. “Your help goes a long way in helping the families in our community and especially the youngest among us find protection and safety.”
For more information or if you have questions, please contact Denham or the Spiritual Care Department at ext. 4-7223.
