A 501(c)(3) Nonprofit
Every NICU family
deserves to feel
less alone.
We offer free resources and direct 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 direct support programs for NICU families. From Roo, to care packages, to financial assistance, 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, 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.
Local Impact
Every dollar we raise goes directly to help NICU families in the greater Chicago metro area.
Our Flagship Project
Roo: A NICU
