About Miracle Babies

Miracle Babies was founded by Dr. Sean
Daneshmand in 2009 and is based in San Diego, CA. Our mission is to provide
support and financial assistance to families with critically ill newborns in
the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit; and to enhance the well-being of women,
children and their families through education, prevention and medical care.



Approximately 11.5% of live
births in the United States result in a premature birth. Through the efforts of
our volunteers, many of whom are themselves the parents of premature newborns,
and your donations of time and/or financial support, we will raise funds to
provide assistance to these families whose lives have been turned upside down
while caring for their preemie or sick newborn.
