September is NICU Awareness Month. 💚

For the entire month of September, we honor the tiniest fighters, the moms walking through days no one can fully understand unless they’ve lived them, and the incredible NICU teams who care for these babies and stand beside their families through some of the hardest moments of their lives.

Coastal NICU Care Boxes was created to bring a little comfort, encouragement, and reminder that NICU moms are seen, supported, and never alone.

This month, I’ll be sharing more about the NICU journey, ways to support local NICU moms and staff, and the people and businesses helping make these care boxes possible.

To every NICU mom, whether you’re in the thick of it right now or your NICU days are part of your story forever, you are seen. You are loved. You are not alone. 💚

Here’s to a month of awareness, compassion, advocacy, and showing up for our local NICU community.

The year is flying by.
September is NICU Awareness Month 💙

Coastal NICU Care Boxes is asking our community to help us support the incredible mommas walking through the NICU journey, and the medical staff caring for their little ones every day. I don’t know what I would have done without the NICU nurses who quite literally held me up during the hardest days.

We’re looking for donations, care box ideas, and community support as we continue creating boxes filled with comfort, encouragement, and practical items for NICU moms and staff.

Have an idea for something you wish you’d had during your NICU stay? Want to donate or help us grow? Send us a message, we’d love to hear from you. 🤍

Donation links are available in our bio.

Every contribution, big or small, helps us remind a NICU mom that she is seen, supported, and not alone. And for September we want to recognize the super hero NICU staff as well!

I’ve read this message over and over. 🤍

One of our Coastal NICU Care Boxes was given to a mom during an unimaginable moment.

And of everything inside the box, the handwritten note was what brought her to tears.

That has stayed with me.

I’ve been the mom that never brought her baby home from NICU, and I’ve been the mom that did.

Coastal NICU Care Boxes was created because I know how long, lonely, overwhelming, and life-changing the NICU can be. These boxes were never meant to simply be a collection of things. They’re meant to remind a mom that someone sees her, someone is thinking of her, and she isn’t alone.

Knowing that one of our boxes offered even a small amount of comfort during a moment like this means more to me than I can put into words.

I’m incredibly grateful to this NICU nurse for reaching out and for allowing me to share her message anonymously. 🤍

And to every single person who has donated, purchased something from our wishlist, shared our page, or supported Coastal NICU Care Boxes in any way:

This is your impact, too.

Thank you for helping us continue showing up for NICU moms when they need it most. 🤍

One of the things I love most about Coastal NICU Care Boxes is that sometimes our mission extends beyond care boxes.

Today, I had the privilege of delivering CPR kits, generously donated by the American Heart Association, to Driscoll Children’s Hospital.

As a NICU parent myself, I know how empowering it can be to have resources that help families feel more prepared and confident. These CPR kits provide lifesaving education that can make a real difference in an emergency.

Thank you to the American Heart Association for your generosity and for allowing Coastal NICU Care Boxes to help connect these incredible resources with local families.

Thank you as well to Corina and the team at Driscoll Children’s Hospital for everything you do for children and families in our community.

It’s partnerships like these that remind me how much good we can accomplish when organizations come together with one shared goal: supporting families.

✨ Prime Day is here!

If you’re already shopping Amazon today, would you consider adding just one item for Coastal NICU Care Boxes?

Every blanket, notebook, snack, toiletry, and comfort item helps us create care boxes for local NICU moms (and dads) during one of the hardest seasons of their lives.

Our Amazon Wishlist is linked in our bio, but if there’s another item on Amazon you’d love to donate that isn’t on the list, we’d be incredibly grateful for that too. 🤍

A single purchase may seem small, but together they become care boxes that remind parents they aren’t alone.

Thank you for supporting Coastal NICU Care Boxes. 🫶🏼
