Three successful Brave Box drops this week! 📦

Today’s St. Cloud visit was awesome, and we also collected handmade Comfort Hands from some wonderful local volunteers!

During our own terrifying NICU journeys, I never imagined I’d get to give back like this. Using my story and pain for good—and connecting with parents facing what we once faced—is incredibly rewarding.

To every NICU parent, especially the dads: you need support, too. You don’t have to hold everything together or carry it alone. From one dad to another, I’m here. 💜

Four families. Two delivery days. A reminder that they are not alone. ❤️

This Tuesday and Thursday, The Brave Foundation is preparing to serve four NICU families—and that number could grow.

That’s eight meals, four $25 fuel gift cards, and four weighted comfort hands, along with other thoughtful resources inside our Brave Boxes.

Additionally four reminders that they are beautiful, even in the midst of difficult circumstances.

Because we get it!

Each one helps ease a burden, offer comfort, and remind a family that their community cares.

Your support puts this mission into motion. When you donate, purchase a wish list item, or rally others to give, you help turn compassion into something a family can hold, use, and feel.

Get behind the mission. Help us reach the next family. No parent should walk the NICU journey alone.
Thank you for your support!

I recently got to deliver a Brave Box to St. John’s Hospital in Maplewood, and walking back through those doors brought back so many memories.

Four years ago, we were in Hugo when Shacreya began screaming in excruciating pain. I searched for the nearest hospital, knowing she needed medical attention immediately. St. John’s was 25 minutes away. I remember being terrified for my wife and wondering how I would get her there in time.

The last time I had been inside those walls was when Brave was born. There was so much fear, uncertainty, and emotion there—and, in many ways, it was the beginning of the mission we carry today.

Four years later, I returned with a Brave Box one of our foundations (The Brave Foundation - NICU Support) programs for another family who needed support. To bring comfort back to the very place where our own journey began was something I’ll never forget. God works in mysterious ways. ❤️

And yes, I deliver Brave Boxes too! As a NICU dad, I know fathers need someone standing in the gap for them, too. We need to show up, listen, and remind other dads that they don’t have to carry it all alone.
