OUR INITIATIVES

Real journeys from NICU families who've been there

Three Ways We Show Up for NICU Families

When we were in the NICU, different moments called for different kinds of support. Sometimes we needed to hear we weren't alone. Sometimes we needed someone to just listen without trying to fix it. And sometimes we needed someone to remind us to eat and charge our phones. That's why we built three initiatives that meet families exactly where they are.

Stories of Hope

We share real NICU family journeys: prenatal diagnoses, NICU stays, life after discharge, and all the complicated feelings that come with each. These aren't the filtered, picture-perfect stories you see elsewhere. They're honest, messy, and real, written by parents who want you to know that whatever you're feeling right now is okay and that you're not walking this alone..

These stories are for you if you're sitting in a NICU right now, if you just received an unexpected diagnosis, if you're preparing for your baby's admission, or if you're home now but still processing everything that happened

Parent Connections

Sometimes you just need to talk to someone who's been there; someone who knows what "desat" means, who understands why you can't leave the hospital even though visiting hours are over, who gets why well-meaning comments from others can sting. We offer a listening ear and real understanding from lived NICU experience. Not therapy, not medical advice, just parent-to-parent support whenever you need it.

This is for NICU parents who need someone to talk to, partners trying to support their significant other, family members wanting to understand, or anyone who needs connection with people who truly get it

Parent Care Kits

Long hospital days require small comforts. Our care kits bring practical essentials and emotional support to families during NICU stays: phone chargers for the constant updates, snacks for the meals you skip, journals for processing the overwhelming moments, milestone cards to celebrate your warrior, and encouragement for the hardest days. Loved ones can sponsor kits, and we make sure they reach families who need a reminder that they're not forgotten.

For families in the thick of a NICU stay and for friends, family, or community members who want to provide meaningful support from near or far

The Road Ahead

Right now, it's just the two of us running this foundation between full-time jobs and parenting. These three initiatives are what we can offer today, but our hearts hold so much more. We dream of formal parent mentor programs that match families with experienced NICU parents, partnerships with hospitals and OBGYN offices that connect families to support earlier, expanded care kit distribution that reaches more families, and community gatherings where NICU families can find friendship beyond the hospital.

We also know we don't have all the answers. You do. NICU families know what they need better than anyone, and we want this foundation to grow in ways that truly serve your community. If you have ideas for programs, if you want to help build something new, or if you see a gap we could fill, reach out. Every initiative we create will come from listening to families like yours.

Whether you need support right now or want to help us grow, we'd love to hear from you. Contact us to connect.

WE NEED YOUR VOICE

YOUR STORY MATTERS

The stories that saved us during our NICU journey weren't the perfect ones: they were the real ones. Families who shared their fears, their setbacks, and their hope gave us courage to keep going. Now we're inviting you to pay that forward. Share your NICU experience and become that beacon of hope for families just beginning their path. Your story has power.

The Mighty Little Warriors Foundation was born from our own NICU journey. We know the fear, the uncertainty, and the isolation that comes with an unexpected diagnosis. That's why we're here: to connect NICU families with the resources, support, and community that helped us through our darkest days. No parent should walk this road alone.
