About 6,000 children are born prematurely in Bulgaria every year, which is about 10% of the newly born in this country. The sight of a premature baby may be frightening for some people, but parents of such children view them as the most beautiful and tender human beings, whose life begins with a great struggle. Everyone is involved in this struggle for survival – the little heroes, the medical specialists from the neonatal intensive care units, as well as their families.
One year ago in February, an idea aimed at supporting parents of premature children was born in Bulgaria. The voluntary initiative allows all people who feel empathy with the problems of the premature babies to support their families. The Foundation “Our Premature Children” organizes the good cause campaign.
