Happy Father’s Day to the dads, stepdads, grandpas, foster dads, adoptive dads, bonus dads, and father figures who show up day after day.

The ones sleeping in hospital chairs.
The ones who learned medical terms they never wanted to know.
The ones holding it together when everything feels uncertain.

The Sparkle Strong Foundation is currently seeking donations of Native art, jewelry and handmade items for our Native Art Supporting Hearts auction.

This fundraiser supports families living in the pediatric cardiac ICU alongside their children — helping provide comfort, practical support and care during extended hospital stays.

We would be honored to feature work from Native artists and makers as part of this event. We will be accepting donations through August 21 for an early September online auction.

If you are interested in donating or know someone who may be, please message us or email [email protected] for more information.

Please share with your networks!

People will never fully understand what CICU nurses carry emotionally, physically and mentally. CICU families know. We know. 💖

Thank you for loving our babies like they’re your own, and for holding entire families through impossible times. 💖

We also want to take this moment to recognize Jewels’s amazing care team. Our deepest gratitude to Sam, Allison, Ashlynn, Monica, Jules and Jo. You all mean the world to us! 💖

You are appreciated today and every day. 💖

Wishing a gentle Mother’s Day to all the heart mamas pacing hospital hallways, who have to ask to hold your babies, who are on a first name basis with the CICU staff. To all the heart mamas who have a weekly date at the heart clinic, have a syringe cleaning system, who worry with every cough and sniffle. To all the heart mamas whose warriors have finished the fight, who hold their little loves through memories, who aren’t quite sure what to do now.

We see all of you and hope today is as gentle as possible. 💕
