originated from my own experience in the NICU with my two Little Warriors, Damian and Xavier. Being born prematurely at 25 weeks and 5 days, earned us a stay of ten months in an Intensive Care Unit and three months at a transition home. Among other illnesses, both of my boys suffered from Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia or BPD, making our journey very, very long. 

that affects lungs and airways causing damage and scar tissue in the tiny air sacs. Consequently, they both got a Tracheostomy tube to breathe and, currently, are still dependent on a ventilator. Between all of the surgeries and scares, it’s easy to forget about us, the parents, or the world outside of the NICU. It is easy to lose hope and hard to live in fear. When Damian was diagnosed with Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC), a life-threatening illness in the intestines, causing perforations, it took our experience to a whole new level of worry. His illness ended up causing surgeons to cut 10cm of his intestine and him living with his insides in a bag protruding from his body for 6 months.

it is that I decided to embark on this adventure and start an organization to raise funds and provide parents with a small offering to help bring awareness to self and have some joy in the midst of danger. To the superhero parents of the little warriors, there is no better gift than the health of our children, but we just want you to know, you are not alone, and we are thinking about you.
