Wow!! $450 in one day! Y’all are AMAZING! Please help us drive this fundraiser home so we can get these NICU families some gifts this holdiday 💕

One way we know how to help NICU parents, is coffee! Here's our fundraising pool: https://paypal.me/pools/c/8uImnSzrCW

We won't be collecting all our normal items this year, but the baby hats, coffee, and baby supply gift cards are a go! Can you help us raise enough money to treat these families to a break when they probably need it most? THANK YOU EVERYONE!!

We are grateful and humbled for the opportunity to offer these stockings to the families spending the holidays in the HOCC NICU for the sixth year. A million thank yous to everyone of you who continue to help us make this a reality. We have raised *roughly* $10k over the past six years and there’s no way we could have done any of it without our supporters. Thank you all around.

A HUGE THANK YOU to our recent generous contributors who got us to our goal!! Linda Walsh, Julia Frankle, Anne Campbell, Elizabeth Foster Mansolillo, Sarah Castaneda, Jenna LaCasse, and a huge thank you to Trish Giovanni Via Jessica Leclerc. Our two NICU graduates can’t wait to deliver these stockings tonight!

Last chance! WE NEED COFFEE ☕️ 😴 but not as much as these NICU parents do. With another $180 (PayPal to [email protected]) we can buy them all cafe cards. Can you help us reach our last goal? Thank you to Marci Weinstein and John Shepard for your recent contributions!!

Yesterday, Xavier turned SIX!! It feels like a lifetime ago that we spent our winter at The Hospital of Central Connecticut with him. Christmas in the NICU isn’t easy, but these stockings are full of things to brighten the day and perhaps lighten the load for families in the same NICU this year. Here is a link to our wish list. We are so close to our goal! Help us stuff the stockings by checking out our wishlist
