Some unexpected gifts – soft and furry – arrived early this holiday season for infants in the neonatal intensive care unit at MultiCare Deaconess Hospital.
More than 50 new stuffed animals were donated to the hospital by a Spokane Valley mom, Andrea Berndt, and her adult daughter, Stephanie Berndt. Some of those gifts were given this past week to several families for their babies receiving care. The mom also bought and donated about 15 blankets for hospitalized teens.

SPOKANE, Wash. Every year, Andrea Berndt and her daughter Stephanie give out donations or do an act of kindness. It’s in honor of Andrea’s other daughter.
Ashley Rose died in 1989 from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, or SIDS. On Wednesday, they donated around 50 stuffed animals and blankets for families at MultiCare Deaconess Hospital’s NICU.
“It kinda brings a bright spot and helps to know you’re not alone,” Andrea said. “There’s people out there thinking about you and that have been through what you’ve been through.”
