Welcome, NICU Grad Parent!

You survived the NICU… now what?

Whether you’re celebrating discharge day or still feeling shaken by the whirlwind, we’re so glad you found your way here. At The Apricity Hope Project, we support parents of medically complex children from the very beginning — and that includes you.

What Is the Apricity Hope Project?

We’re a nonprofit built by medical moms for medical moms (and dads!) Our goal is to empower, encourage, comfort and restore caregivers of medically complex children — especially those with life-limiting conditions.

We believe that when you care for the caregiver, the whole family thrives.

Our programs include:

  • Healing Retreats for caregiving moms
  • Caregiver Meetups outside of the hospital
  • Podcast episodes that help you feel seen, not alone
  • Hospital and NICU Go-Bags to support you during long stays
  • A growing community of caregivers who get it
  • The Apricity Hideaway in Norfolk, VA – our flamingo-pink HQ where the magic happens
