A 501(c)(3) Nonprofit
Every NICU family
deserves to feel
less alone.
We offer free resources and support for families navigating the NICU. Born from our own 103-day journey.
What We Do
Supporting families while they support their little ones.
We build free tools, educational resources, and care packages for NICU families in the Chicago area. Everything we do is informed by lived experience.
Free Resources
Tools like Roo, our NICU companion app, help families stay organized, informed, and supported throughout their stay.
Family Support
Care packages and comfort items delivered to NICU families at Lurie Children's, designed by parents who have been there.
Local Impact
Every dollar we raise goes directly to help NICU families in the greater Chicago metro area.
