Giving Back to NICU Parents & NICUs With Gratitude

Why are you giving away a free ebook?

I have always believed in the importance of giving back; this is a concept that has sustained the Journey of Hearts (tm) website since its beginning in 1997 and has been a core value for the Violet Heart (tm) Collection.

Giving back is a feature we bring to the NICU Parent Support, with the creating of this freely available eBook.

Giving back is a way of expressing gratitude for all that my family has been given and given back. In the case of our NICU newborn, we were given back a great deal; we were given back our daughter and the gift of her life.

I think those who endure and survive a major life challenge are forever changed by the experience. Since our NICU journey, we have the desire and feel compelled to give something back with gratitude, hence, the development of a free of charge resource to assist other NICU parents.
