Fundraiser for Friends of NICU

The Friends of the NICU (http://www.friendsofnicu.com/) will be holding a fundraiser at Strings Italian restaurants on December 11. A portion of all meal sales will support this worthy group.



The Friends of NICU provides items directly to the families who have babies at Mercy San Juan and Mercy Sacramento. We were fortunate that I did not have to work while Beth was in the hospital for her 90-day stay. Not every family is so fortunate. With the economy taking such a hard hit, families may have an even harder time coping with the financial and emotional stress.



You can go to either restaurant between 4:00 and 9:00 on Thursday, December 11 knowing that your dinner out will help other families. This day has special significance to us because this is the day I entered the hospital. Beth was born--by the grace of God--almost 8 weeks later and came home on May 1.

I wish i lived closer to sac to be able to support this!! They helped us for the short stay we were there, and were supporting us before our son was even born! I really wish every NICU was as fortunate as Mercy San Juan's NICU is with the friends of the NICU! Going to UC Davis & not having anything like this was hard! Anyways good luck to them, I hope they raise some good money! :)
