Miracle Babies, founded by Dr. Sean Daneshmand and based in San Diego, is a non-profit organization structured to provide education and financial support to families with newborns in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Our mission is to provide financial assistance and support to families in need with newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit.

Approximately 11.5% of live births in the United States result in a premature birth. Through the efforts of our volunteers, many of whom are themselves the parents of premature newborns, and your donations of time and/or financial support, we will raise funds to provide assistance to these families whose lives have been turned upside down while caring for their preemie or sick newborn.

As a volunteer-driven organization, our volunteers are priceless.
