HOW WE HELP

bedside comfort

As if spending all of your time in the hospital wasn’t stressful enough, the amenities for parents leave much to be desired. We’ve curated supplies we found most helpful ourselves as well as some we wish we had but only discovered through speaking with other parents and hospital staff.

comfort library items

  • Inflatable sleeping pads fit to hospital pullout chairs and couches

  • Extendable charging cables and wall cubes for ill-placed wall outlets

  • Rechargeable fan and light with flexible tripod for where you need it

  • Electric heating pads for temperature control and inevitable body aches

Comfort GIFT kits

  • Disposable bath sponges for when you don’t have access to a shower

  • Dry shampoo for refreshing hair in between washes

  • Antiperspirant and disposable face wipes

  • Laundry detergent sheets for washer or sink washes

  • Laundry freshening and anti-wrinkle spray

everyday advocacy

(COMING SOON)

We help parents and caregivers become confident, informed members of every child’s care team. That means learning how to easily read vitals monitors, decode medical jargon, and understand who’s who in the hospital hierarchy. While we may not have medical degrees, we’re the only ones present for every shift, every symptom, every subtle change, and that perspective is powerful.

  • One-page guide to reading vitals monitors, medical jargon thesaurus, and sample hospital hierarchy / organizational chart.

  • Online videos going deeper into each of the one-page guide topics for those interested in more comprehensive knowledge and guidance on where to go for even further learnings.

shared experiences

(COMING SOON)

We’re building a space for parents and caregivers to connect, share stories, exchange tips, and remind each other they’re not alone. Whether it’s your first admission or your fifteenth, there’s value in community, in solidarity, in wisdom, and in knowing someone else gets it. No one understands this life like another parent living it.

  • Stories told by real parents and caregivers about the realities (good, bad, and ugly) of hospital life.

  • Public forums and events for parents and caregivers to meet and speak to each other live sharing support, love, tips, and more. You are not alone and there is a ton of strength in community!
