Every year more than 500,000 babies are born prematurely. As overwhelmed families grapple with the terrifying uncertainties, they often find themselves faced with unexpected financial difficulties. Miracle Babies provides education, support, and financial assistance to families with newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). So join with Miracle Babies, an organization that aims to lift the financial burdens of these families during this time, so families can focus on one thing – the health of their newborn.
