What We Do
We build free tools, educational resources, and direct support programs for NICU families. From Roo, to care packages, to financial assistance, everything we do is informed by lived experience.
Tools like Roo, our NICU companion app, help families stay organized, informed, and supported throughout their stay.
Care packages, meals, gas cards, pet care, and lodging support for out-of-town families. All informed by lived experience and designed to meet families where they are.
Every dollar we raise goes directly to help NICU families in the greater Chicago metro area.
Our Flagship Project
Roo helps NICU parents stay organized and feel more in control during their stay. Rounds notes, growth tracking, care team management, and more. Built in English and Spanish.
