The Problem

NICU stats: 1 in 10 babies go to the NICU in the United States; 2 in 5 parents have anxiety or post-traumatic stress when their baby needs intensive care; $26B annually is what preterm birth is estimated to cost the U.S. economy.

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.

Essentials bags delivered to families admitted to the Neonatal ICU

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.

Grants given to families

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.”
