The NICU journey doesn't end at discharge. Neither should the support.

When you're navigating life after the NICU, questions don't stop just because you leave the hospital.

That's why we created the MyPreemie App—a free resource designed by preemie parents, for preemie parents.

Whether you're looking for trusted information, tracking milestones, journaling your journey, or finding support for the challenges that can come with prematurity, MyPreemie puts helpful tools right in your pocket.

Because no parent should have to navigate the preemie journey alone.

Meet Jestin Jaziel Butler, lovingly known as Andy Pandy. 💙

Born on February 3, 2026, weighing just 3 pounds, 11 ounces, Andy arrived 8 weeks early at 34 weeks and 4 days gestation. As his mom's first preemie—and her first and only son—his arrival brought unexpected challenges, but also incredible strength.

Andy spent 3½ weeks in the NICU, where he received support for respiratory distress and the extra care he needed because of his premature birth. Within his first week, he was weaned off CPAP and IVs, and after a short course of phototherapy, he continued making progress every day.

One of his proudest milestones came during his final week in the NICU when he took his very first bottle—and finished every drop. From there, he never looked back. He passed his car seat test with flying colors and was finally able to head home weighing 4 pounds, 8 ounces.

Today, Andy is a reminder that strength comes in the smallest packages. His journey may have started in the NICU, but it has always been filled with determination, love, and the support of his family—including his four big sisters who were waiting to welcome him home.

Every preemie story is unique, and every milestone is worth celebrating. 💙

Inspired by his own NICU journey as a preemie parent, the exhibit transforms the sounds, sights, barriers, and emotions of the NICU into an unforgettable sensory experience.

Because some stories can't be fully told with words—they have to be felt.

No one should have to walk the NICU journey alone. 💙

Our Preemie Parent Mentor program connects you with someone who truly understands—because they’ve been there too. Through shared experience, mentors provide a safe space where your feelings are heard, your voice is strengthened, and your resilience can grow.

✨ You are not “just” a parent in the NICU; you are an essential part of your baby’s care team.
✨ Your emotions are valid, even the complicated ones.
✨ And with the right support, healing is possible.

If you’re looking for someone who gets it, we’re here for you.

⚠ Did you know? 1 in 5 Moms and 1 in 10 Dads suffer from postpartum depression.

Approximately 35% of mothers and 24% of fathers experience Acute Stress Disorder days after premature birth, with 15% of these mothers and 8% of these fathers having ongoing PTSD symptoms after leaving the NICU.

Parenting through the unexpected journey of a premature birth is incredibly challenging. Remember, it's ok not to be ok AND it's ok to ask for help. Lean on your support system, prioritize self-care, and celebrate the small victories. Your strength is immeasurable and YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

💜 Our Preemie Parent Mentor Program offers peer support from fellow parents who were once in your shoes. To be matched with one of our parent volunteers, click here:

If this looks familiar, you're not alone. 💙

Behind every weight update, every question for the care team, every reminder scribbled at 3 a.m., is a parent carrying more than anyone can see.

Preemie parents become experts overnight. They learn new medical terms, celebrate gains measured in grams, memorize monitor alarms, and somehow keep showing up day after day for their baby.

At Graham's Foundation, we know that journey because we've been there too. Whether you need peer support, care packages, resources, or simply a reminder that someone understands, we're here to help lighten the load.

If you're a preemie parent, we see your strength. And if someone supported you during your NICU journey, consider helping us do the same for another family. Every donation, share, and act of support helps ensure no parent walks this path alone.

‼️ Leaving the NICU doesn't always mean the trauma is over.

In this powerful conversation, Graham's Foundation founder Nicholas Hall sits down with integrative mental health therapist and three-time NICU mom Atara Parkinson to discuss the often-overlooked emotional impact of the NICU experience on parents.

Together, they explore:
✨ Why hypervigilance, anxiety, and overwhelm can linger long after discharge
✨ How NICU trauma affects the nervous system
✨ Why many parents put their own needs aside while focusing on their baby
✨ The importance of finding support; whether through therapy, peer support, or other healing resources

One message shines through: there is no timeline for healing, and you don't have to navigate it alone.

If you've ever wondered why certain NICU memories still feel so close, or if you're looking for validation and support on your parenting journey, this conversation is for you.
