Help save babies
This holiday season, you are invited to celebrate in a unique way — ensuring babies are nestled all snug in their beds. The Florida Department of Children & Families along with Healthy Families Florida is partnering with HALO® to encourage the gift of safe sleep and potentially save a life.
You can participate in this holiday project by donating a deeply discounted HALO SleepSack® for $10 to a family in need during the month of December. SleepSacks replace loose blankets in the crib that can cover a baby’s face and interfere with breathing.
To make a donation, visit HaloSleep.com/SafeSleepFL. The donated SleepSacks will be distributed to parents of newborns through Healthy Families Florida.
So far this year in Florida, 44 infants under the age of 1 have died from unsafe sleep.
For a small donation, you can truly give the gift of life.
