TINY LITTLE TREASURES
navigating the nicu journey
OUR CAUSE
Our mission is to provide unwavering support and compassionate care to families navigating the challenges of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). We strive to empower and uplift families during their journey by offering practical assistance, emotional guidance, and a strong community network.
Through advocacy, education, and direct assistance, we aim to alleviate burdens, foster hope, and ensure that no family faces the NICU experience alone.
Together, we are dedicated to making a meaningful difference in the lives of NICU families, today and for generations to come.
WAYS TO GET INVOLVED
Where we donate
We have donated to hospitals throughout the Los Angeles area, including Providence Holy Cross, UCLA Ronald Regan, Dignity Health Northridge Hospital, Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, and even as far north as Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital.
If you know a hospital in need, or have a donation idea please reach out to our team. We would love to hear from you!
Why we serve
The NICU can be a scary place for a new parent, and it can be especially difficult to bond with a newborn in a hospital setting instead of in the comfort of a decorated nursery.
Our mission is to inspire hope and spark joy to parents during a NICU stay.
“Be the change you wish to see in the world.” -Mahatma Gandhi
Our Current project
This fall, we are dedicating our time to making bonding hearts! Bonding hearts are fabric shaped hearts that can be worn by both parent and baby (in the isolet). During the day, mom or dad (or both!) can wear a set of bonding hearts inside a bra or pinned to a shirt. Then, after a visit at the hospital, the parents can leave their bonding hearts with the NICU nurse who will then leave it with baby. While away, the baby can still smell their parent’s presence and know just how much they are loved. With the help of our local volunteers we hope create enough hearts to donate to three LA-based hospitals. If you are interested in volunteering your time to make some bonding hearts please email us at ourtinylittletreasures@gmail.com .
