Bringing hope during hurdles.

Who We Help

Our mission is to bring some brightness to the tough, often unexpected, journey of the NICU and to lighten the burden of a long NICU stay for those extra fragile beginnings and the challenges that come beyond the NICU.

How We Help

We support families and staff at Children’s Hospital Colorado, Colorado Springs NICU through a variety of initiatives that can bring some joy during the challenging time. Our primary focus currently is on preemies, like our daughter, with several month long NICU stays. Check out Our Impact page for more information on current initiatives.
