Welcome and thank you for visiting our website. We are happy you are taking a few minutes out of your day to learn more about our non-profit organization. Since March 2007, we have been dedicated to providing a helping hand to those needy families with baby/babies in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit).

We are a subset of Mercy Foundation and currently work with two of their major Sacramento area hospitals, Mercy San Juan and Sacramento Methodist. 

We have been featured on ABC News 10's Good People, The Sacramento Bee, and CBS 13/CW31 with Mark S. Allen.

What We Do

With the tremendous help of numerous, dedicated and incredible social workers, we help needy families with items such as:

• Gas cards
  
• Food vouchers
• Hotel vouchers
• Strollers
• Diaper bags

Many of these needy families face tough financial decisions such as using their paycheck to feed their family or visit their sick baby/babies in the NICU. We give them the ability to do both, because the bond between parents and child starts at such as early age.
