Grief and hope can exist side by side.

When Nina and Alberto welcomed twin daughters, Arianna and Gabby, at just 24 weeks, they found themselves experiencing both unimaginable loss and enduring love.

As they navigated grief while celebrating Gabby's milestones, they discovered they didn't have to walk that journey alone.

"The medical staff took care of Gabby. Hand to Hold took care of us."

During NICU Bereaved Parents Awareness Month, we honor Arianna's life, celebrate Gabby's journey, and recognize every family carrying both love and loss.

To the parents whose babies are forever loved and forever missed: your grief is seen, your baby's life matters, and you are not alone.

Hand to Hold offers peer support, virtual grief groups, and resources for families navigating pregnancy and infant loss because no one should have to walk this journey alone.

Celebrating the partners who help hope bloom 🌼

For NICU and bereaved families, hope can look like a compassionate voice at the bedside, a peer who truly understands, or a counselor who helps carry the weight of an overwhelming season.
The partners supporting the Dell Children’s Hope Gala: An Evening for Hand to Hold help make that care possible.

Through their generosity, Hand to Hold can provide early-intervention mental health support, peer mentorship, counseling, education, and critical resources to families navigating the NICU and beyond.

Thank you for standing beside NICU families and helping ensure that no family walks this journey alone.
