Fund our NICU Family Support Program
St. Cloud, MN
Each year, approximately 1 in 10 newborns is admitted to a Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in the United States. Having a baby hospitalized in a NICU can be one of the most frightening, confusing and overwhelming experiences a parent can have. As part of its National Prematurity Campaign, NICU Family Support provides information and comfort to families for whom prematurity has become an unavoidable reality.
NICU Family Support aims to alleviate the emotional stress so common to a family whose baby is born early or with another medical condition that necessitates a NICU hospitalization. Built upon a family-centered philosophy and including NICU families into every level of the project's development, NICU Family Support is implemented nationwide through March of Dimes state chapters.
Here in Minnesota, our NICU Family Support is located at St. Cloud Hospital. This important program needs ongoing funding.
- A $100 donation could provide 50 Parent Care Kits containing vital information for families who have a baby in the NICU
- A $50 donation could provide important training to 20 NICU staff members
- A $25 donation could provide one family an Infant CPR kit and training
- A $10 donation could provide two families a disposable camera and photo album to capture the important first moments of their baby’s life
