Founded in San Diego, California in 2009, the mission of Miracle Babies is dedicated to helping perinatal mothers and their families during their time of need by providing transportation, mental health assistance, and supportive services.
Our tagline is “Together for a better beginning,” reflecting the importance of this family connection in the critical early weeks and months of an infant’s life and the mental well-being of the mother. We can change health outcomes if we remove the barriers to parents being with their babies.
Miracle Babies launched
TRANSPORTATION services for parents with hospitalized babies in June 2020. Transportation services to Children's Hospital Los Angeles were launched in March of 2022.
Providing transportation during those critical first days/weeks of a baby's life can dramatically impact the well-being of both the new mother and the baby since it enables increased opportunities for the mother and NICU baby to be together for breastfeeding and kangaroo care.
DIAPER DISTRIBUTIONS
Providing parents with diapers, period supplies, and baby essentials. In San Diego, car seat safety inspections are also available free of charge.
CARE PACKAGES
Miracle Babies Care packages are distributed to NICU families regardless of financial need. These care packages provide comfort items so the parent can spend more time crib-side and resources to address the numerous needs of their critically ill newborns.
MIRACLE HOURS
Miracle Babies hosts weekly parent hours in local hospitals where a meal and crafting activity for all NICU families is provided. Miracle Hours offers parents an escape from the stress and isolation of the NICU and an opportunity to engage with other parents in similar situations.
