Mission Statement
The Aly & Izy Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit founded in 2009. Our mission is to provide support to infants and their families during their stay at a Sacramento/Placer county Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Our services include providing comforting care packages to NICU families (including blankets, beanies, isolette covers, scent dolls, memory boxes, snacks, tissue, journals, hand sanitizer, etc.), online supportive services, temporary housing assistance, NICU Family Support (including gas cards, restaurant gift cards), NICU family socials and bereavement support if a family suffers a loss.
About This Cause
Care Package Program: We provide over 500 comforting care packages annually to NICU families. Our insulated care-package reusable bags contain items made by our volunteers. The bags themselves are great for moms carrying breast milk to and from the NICU. NICU Family Support Program: Direct support is provided to NICU families in the form of gas cards, hotel stays, restaurant and grocery gift cards to help ease some of the financial burden. We also host monthly NICU Family Socials for current families at Sutter Roseville and Sutter General Hospitals and provide the families a nice hot meal. RV for Preemies: We have a fully equipped RV that is parked at Kaiser Roseville Hospital. Families are given a 10 night stay free of charge to be footsteps away from there NICU baby. Crafting for NICU Babies – Sewing, Knit & Crochet Workshops: Our community can join us monthly at a Crafting for NICU Babies volunteer workshop. This is where all the loving hands come together to make the precious items that go into our care packages. Ask how you can join us and Help NICU Babies. Our Volunteers Rock!! Bed-Rest Program: We also provide support for moms on bed-rest and in high risk maternity. Whether they need a little extra encouragement, need a little pampering or even some help around the house. Bereavement Support Program: For families that suffer a loss of their precious baby we can provide grief support, memory boxes to keep their items in, bereavement angel gowns and assist with burial fees if needed.
