Protect Fragile Beginnings
Mother’s Day is a chance to celebrate all the moms and important maternal figures in our lives. It’s also an opportunity to lend a helping hand to moms undergoing a difficult pregnancy or caring for a fragile little one.
When you donate to the Children’s Fund by May 10, your gift can go twice as far through a $10,000 match. You’ll support the wraparound care—social workers, chaplains, Certified Child Life Specialists, and more—that makes a hospital stay easier. And you’ll advance lifesaving research into maternal and children’s health.

“This hospital was the best choice we could have made.”
- Nichara, mother of triplets
Nichara never expected to need specialized care for her delivery until she discovered she was carrying triplets. Her joy turned into anxiety when doctors found that one of her babies had fetal growth restriction caused by crowding, and she knew her babies would need expert care at birth.
Born at 32 weeks, Nichara’s twin girls and baby boy spent their first two months in the NICU. During that time, Nichara received wraparound support that helped her navigate some of her hardest days.
Today, her babies are thriving. Thanks to generous supporters, Packard Children’s continues to care for the whole family with expert medical care and meaningful emotional support.
