Project Mom Bags

When your child is in the Cardiac ICU, comfort can feel out of reach. Project Mom Bags was created to bring a small touch of care and support to moms during their hardest moments. We provide thoughtfully packed bags filled with comfort and hygiene essentials — reminding moms they are not alone.

The idea for Project Mom Bags started when Laura’s son, Grant, was in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CVICU) his first year of life. Grant was born with a congenital heart defect which led to a life saving heart transplant. She was a new mom and had no idea what was ahead of her. Living in her child’s ICU room is not what she imagined her “postpartum journey” to look like. From living that experience and watching others do the same, Laura founded Project Mom Bags. The amount of stress a parent feels in these situations are unimaginable. The goal is to take an ounce of that stress away by supporting these moms with comfort items.

Our goal of $30,000 will help us provide:

• 200 Long Term Stay Mom Bags for moms of babies admitted to Cardiac Intensive Care Units (CVICU)
• 200 Mom Bags for moms of babies admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU)
• Email heartmoms@projectmombags.com for information on helping sponsor community events for each of our partnered hospitals!
