Love for Lily

Facilitated support groups- group meetings provide safe, welcoming, and regular opportunities for individual and small group connection, building community and easing the loneliness and fear that often accompany a nicu stay. This often unexpected and unfamiliar path for parents quickly brings to the surface difficult emotions and thoughts of uncertainty, failure, shame, and guilt, mixed confusingly with happiness and joy at the arrival of their children. Many people have not been taught how to navigate these experiences, but with the guidance of trained facilitators, the parents attending our group meetings not only gain new skills, but they also learn that they are not alone in their nicu journey.

Grants - help to insure familites who spend four or more weeks in the nicu obtain therapies that support the well-being of their child(ren).

Essential bags - bags stuffed with iteams that can provide a little comfort and ease the burden of life in the nicu
