Programs

Hailey's Hope Foundation's programs provide families with financial and emotional support to help them cope with the overwhelming challenges and burdens they face while their babies are hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Our programs also empower families with the tools necessary to play an integral role in their precious babies' survival and development.

 

Financial Support Program (FSP)
The births of premature and sick babies in the United States are rising. With the increasing costs of maintaining healthcare coverage, families are burdened even more today to pay for non-medical expenses associated with a NICU hospitalization. Hailey’s Hope Foundation’s Financial Support Program provides support for families in need to help pay for typical daily expenses, such as lodging, transportation, parking and food while their babies are in the NICU. Our program gives families a greater opportunity to devote as much attention as possible to the survival and health of their babies.

 

Welcome Home Discharge Bag Program
Our Welcome Home Discharge Bag Program helps families as they leave the NICU and transition their babies home. At discharge, every NICU family receives our signature re-usable tote containing baby friendly items, such as diaper bags, onesies, pacifier, rattles, etc, as well as valuable information to comfort them in caring for their babies at home. If you would like to become involved with this program, please contact us at (914) 584-8833 or info@haileyshopefoundation.org.

 

“Memories of a Lifetime” Camera Program
For many families, life is difficult, busy, and costly when your baby is hospitalized in the NICU. Many parents don’t have opportunities to visit their babies as much as they want. During the holidays, Hailey’s Hope Foundation places a disposable camera on each NICU baby’s isolette/crib. Parents and NICU nurses can capture baby’s precious moments, creating memories of a lifetime. If you would like to donate disposable cameras please email Hailey’s Hope Foundation or call (914) 584-8833.

Future Goals:

As we continue to grow and expand our foundation, your donations will help us achieve our future goals:

establish a NICU resource center where families can browse a resource library, do internet research, and connect with other NICU families; establish parent support groups; provide discharge packages to families; help pay for advanced medical equipment for the NICU; help offset the cost of medical expenses for those in need; expand our support to reach NICU families in other hospitals.

Thank you for helping us make a difference in the lives of NICU families!
