Care Packages for Parents of Micro-Preemies

Nick Hall - 09:56am Jul 19, 2010 EST
Father of Reece and Graham, Founder of Graham's Foundation - supporting parents of micro-preemies

My wife, Jennifer, and I know first-hand the initial shock and roller-coaster ride of emotions that parents of micro-preemies face. Our son, Graham and daughter, Reece were born far too early, at only 25 weeks gestation.

We lost Graham after only 45 days and Reece was in the NICU for 4 months. We celebrated every milestone of her development--from breathing on her own to learning to take nourishment from a bottle and finally coming home. But as parents of micro-preemies know, those milestones were interspersed with setbacks that brought new fears and challenges.

As a result of our experience, we have created Graham's Foundation. The foundation's purpose is to provide care packages to the parents during their journey in the NICU.

To request a care package, go to:

Take care,

Nick & Jennifer Hall
