Family Support for Fragile Beginnings

Olivia Sanders, Mother

September 25, 2015

After my son was born at 26 weeks, 5 days, NICU Helping Hands helped me tremendously. During my son’s 84-day stay at the NICU at Baylor All Saints Medical Center I found a support system through NICU Helping Hands. It was a joy everyday to see Brent and have someone that would ask about my son William and how he was doing. Not only that but NICU Helping Hands provided me the chance to interact with other families who shared similar experiences as me.

By attending weekly events hosted by NICU Helping Hands I found release from the stress of dealing with the ups and downs related to my son’s medical issues. I was able to encourage new families just starting the NICU journey as well as receive encouragement and advice from veteran families. I am so thankful for NICU Helping Hands. It really made all the difference in the world during my son’s NICU stay.
