SUPPORT WE PROVIDE

NICU Families
Our comprehensive support for NICU families includes group sessions (virtual and in-unit) and one-on-one coaching with a trained professional. These services are available both during your baby’s hospital stay and after discharge, all at no cost to participants.

Bereaved Families
Love, Camden & Friends provides bereavement and grief support, love, and guidance to families whose lives are forever changed by the loss of a baby.

NICU Team
We offer training for NICU medical teams on family programs, coping skills, self-care practices, and team-building.
The Problem

What We Do

At Love for Lily, we believe that nobody should have to walk the NICU alone. We are providing social-emotional, logistical, and financial support for parents of NICU babies.
Our Impact
Coming together, building community, learning coping skills and easing the feelings of isolation, our facilitated support groups are the pinnacle of our programing.
Essentials Bags are given to every family admitted to NICU units at our participating hospitals. Inside are items that can ease the journey; items include basics like a toothbrush and face wash, a journal and ways to get connected. Simple items that make a world of difference after a long night or many long nights.
Totaling $137,227 in grants given to qualifying families over 10 years, our grant program supports the well-being of infants served in the neonatal ICU. Love for Lily’s grant program provides a hand up when families need it most.
“The NICU can feel incredibly isolating, and while friends and family offer support, they often can’t fully understand the experience. That’s where Love for Lily shines. Receiving a care package or a gift card for coffee was a comforting reminder that we weren’t alone. When Love for Lily stopped by to chat as we anxiously listened to the beeps and alarms, it gave us much-needed comfort. Knowing others had walked this journey before us made all the difference.”
-Kaitlin, NICU Mama
