What We Do

OUR VISION
The vision of support your jouRNey is to use educational tools and a streamlined list of

verified resources to ensure the best neurological outcomes for NICU babies despite access, financial, or language barrier limitations.

Education

Important educational topics catered to parents of high-risk pregnancies, those with NICU babies, or those who have transitioned to post NICU/PICU life.

Connection

Specialized health care for medically complex children can be difficult to access. We aim to connect families to resources specific to a child's unique needs and attempt to bridge the financial gap for those most in need.

Community

Community is the family that goes beyond family. It is the people and places that we come in contact with each and every day. When we strengthen communities, we strengthen individuals.

Our
Programs
support your jouRNey connects with Neonatal Internsive Care Units (NICUs) to address various educational topics that support family-centered care and address commonly or universally encountered topics along the NICU jouRNey. We also offer education and assist with the implementation of topics directly with NICU nurses which are crucial to NICU outcomes such as Primary nursing, Developmental/Positioning, and offer to NICUs a Monthly Education Board System that can be customized to meet the
needs of individual units.

Eye Exams for Children

Sight is critical for so many everyday functions, from reading the blackboard to playing basketball. We provide free eye exams and subsidized prescription eyewear so no child needs to squint when they look for their future.

Toy Donation

Some children have more toys than they know what to do with, while others have few good toys to speak of. We strive to matchmake between toyts and youngsters in need with our yearlong toy exchange program.

Special Needs

Bringing up a healthy and happy child is particularly challenging for underprivileged families dealing with children who have special needs. We offer daily assistance to these families, in the form of after-school help and other activities.

After-school Activities

When school is over for the day, not all children have a comfortable environment to come home to. In our after school activity programs we offer a warm place to stay, study, play, eat and relax.

Animal Therapy

Numerous studies have shown that being with animals helps people overcome learning difficulties, emotional challenges and more. Not every family can have a household pet, so our animal center enables children to enjoy the benefit of having a pet without the cost.
