As a NICU nurse, I have had the honor of caring for some of the tiniest and most vulnerable lives—babies born too soon, too small, or too sick. Every day, I witness the strength of these babies and the unwavering support of their families. But, I also see the challenges they face, and it’s a reminder that we need to do everything we can to ensure every baby has a healthy start.

I’ve seen the anxiety in parents’ eyes when their babies are first admitted to the NICU, not knowing what the future holds. Moms and dads feel a deep sense of helplessness, wishing they could do more to keep their babies safe. That’s where March of Dimes steps in—funding life-saving research, providing emotional support, and advocating for policies that improve prenatal care and reduce preterm birth. The work of March of Dimes not only saves babies but also provides moms and dads with the resources they need to stay strong during the hardest moments of their lives.

But this work doesn’t happen without your support. By contributing to March of Dimes, you're not just making a donation; you’re giving hope to families facing some of the hardest moments of their lives. You're investing in life-saving research and programs that help babies grow stronger, healthier, and thrive.

As a NICU nurse, I’ve seen firsthand how every bit of research, every innovation, and every resource helps us provide better care and save more lives. That’s why I’m asking for your help today—whether it’s through a donation, sharing our message, or simply spreading the word. Together, we can make a difference.

Please join me in supporting March of Dimes and ensuring that every baby, every mom, and every dad gets the healthy start and the peace of mind they deserve. Your contribution, no matter how big or small, can help change the future for countless families.

Thank you for your support and for helping make miracles possible.
