Wall of Hope
A Place to Read, Share, and Lift One Another
The NICU journey can feel overwhelming, but no one walks it alone. Our Wall of Hope is a growing collection of messages, photos, and stories from those who have experienced the NICU firsthand - parents, grandparents, siblings, friends, and family members who understand the strength it takes, and the hope you need to get you through.
Each note is shared with one purpose: to bring comfort, courage, and hope to families who are currently navigating the NICU journey.
If you’ve been part of the NICU community, we invite you to leave a quick note and, if you’d like, a photo. Your words - no matter how simple - could be exactly what someone needs to read today.
Take a moment to read, share, and to remind a family that brighter days are ahead.
Zukosky Family
It’s been 4 years since Will has been home from his 11 month hospital stay. He had a 1% chance of survival. Today he is a super smart nearly 5 year old. Revel in every good day and leave the bad ones behind you. Every milestone is a big deal!
The Roach Family
There’s a saying that life won’t give you more than you can handle and right now it may seem like more than you can bear, but you will get through it! You’ll discover a strength you didn’t know existed! One day you’ll look back and be amazed at what you went through and overcame!
Pyanov Family
Having navigated the NICU three times, we want you to know we see you, you're not alone. Make friends with the nurses, they truly love your baby. And know the NICU stay won't last forever.
Our 31, 30, and 29 weekers are now nine, four, and two and absolutely thriving in their own ways.

After having 2 NICU baby boys 13 years apart there were so many memories, emotions & feelings it all felt like a DejaVu! The main thing to never lose is FAITH! Every day is a challenge, but it takes a village whether its staff at the hospital, a friend, family,partner & siblings we are all we got!
The Baker Family
Congratulations! I know this is not how you imagined your birth experience, but this is part of a story filled with fierce love. Your strength is greater than you know. Hold onto hope and celebrate the small victories. You are not alone, and you are doing a great job!
The Clark Family
Having a child in the NICU can be SO hard, but you can do hard things! It may seem to never end, but this, too, will pass. It is just one chapter of the book!
The Keller Family
The best things come in the littlest packages. These fierce, mighty babies grow up to be the strongest, most determined & amazing people. Each day is a gift so celebrate every milestone both big and small!
The Fish Family
It is okay to grieve the parenthood and birth you were expecting. Just remember that you are living and thriving in a unique experience that no one else gets to and you're doing amazing!
The Hartman Family
Congratulations! The road ahead may feel uncertain, but you and your baby are stronger than you know. Take it one day at a time, celebrate every small step and know you are not alone!
The Clark Family
Congratulations; I know this is not how you imagined your birth. You will learn you have strength you didn't think possible and you will get through this chapter one day at a time. In the meantime, remember you are not alone as you navigate the days, weeks, or months ahead.
The Robino Family
Congratulations! Something that comforted me during our NICU time was when a nurse told me: “you will remember this, but your baby won’t.” Just love them hard, advocate for them, and in the words of Bluey, “You have to be the bravest you've ever been.” 🩷
