Today’s guest author is Angie, who shared her story of premature birth due to pre-eclampsia for Pre-eclampsia Awareness Day. My husband and I married in 2009. We knew we wanted our own family and were eager to welcome our first baby, Adriana, in April 2010. We knew after we had Adriana that we wanted a […]
Today we’re excited to feature a blog post from Jaime, who is part of our Parent Mentor volunteer program.

If you’re a preemie parent looking for support, please […]
For Prematurity Awareness Month, we are continuing our series Prematurity Voices, where we give parents of preemies a place to share their story in their own words. Today, Nicole tells the story of the birth of her 500 grams miracle, Alexis Lily. After the loss of a pregnancy in December of 2011, we were very […]
Angela gave birth unexpectedly to son Max at just 26 weeks along with almost no warning at all. HELLP syndrome was behind her early birth, but she didn’t fit the profile. Luckily, her medical team took her concerns seriously and she and Max are here today. This is her story as told in her own […]
Rebecca, the blogger behind Cheering On Charlie (which you can find in our resources section of the site) invited us to repost her prematurity story (which will appear in two parts) on our blog. It originally appeared here. My husband and I decided early in our marriage that we were not baby people. We were […]
For many parents of preemies, it’s faith that carries them through an early birth and then the roller-coaster ride that is the NICU. Such was the case for Danielle and her husband, who welcomed their baby boy into the world much too early. Early on, they made the decision to weather it all with a […]
Today’s blog post was written by Tim Spillane, a grandparent who has dealt with extreme prematurity. His daughter, Anne, became pregnant with quadruplets, and from the start, the family knew they’d be facing the trials of severe prematurity.

Graham’s Foundation is a not-for-profit organization recognized as tax-exempt under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3).
Our mission is to provide support to parents of premature babies.
As we work together through these challenging times, you may have questions about how Graham’s Foundation is supporting our preemie parent community. Fortunately, because our support programs have always been delivered virtually, we are equipped to deliver all of our programs today, tomorrow, and into the future to continue to meet the psychosocial needs of parents.
Our Care Packages offer helpful tips for self-care and navigating the NICU and going home (our supplies have been in stock since before the COVID-19 outbreak), our MyPreemie app provides critical preemie-related information and helps parents journal their NICU experience, and our three dozen trained mentors are available to lend an ear and offer words of advice and encouragement.
In such a difficult time, it is more important than ever that we are here for the most vulnerable members of our community and Graham’s Foundation is ready. We are grateful to our volunteers and the individuals and industry partners who make generous donations that enable us to develop and deliver our support programs.
In Gratitude,
Nicholas Hall, Founder
Graham’s Foundation
