About

At Miracle Babies, we believe in the power of family connection during a newborn's most critical moments. Our mission is guided by these core values:

Compassion: Offering empathy and understanding to every family, ensuring they feel seen, heard, and supported on their NICU journey.
Community: Fostering a network of belonging among NICU families, healthcare professionals, and our supporters, so no family feels isolated.
Empowerment: Equipping families with resources, transportation, and emotional support, enabling them to bond with their infants and participate actively in their care.
Dependability: Providing consistent, reliable care that families and our partners can trust.
Integrity: Building trust through transparency, accountability, and adherence to the highest ethical standards, reinforcing our credibility with families, donors, and partners.

Guided by these values, Miracle Babies strives to create a future where every NICU family receives the connection and comprehensive support they need to thrive.

At Miracle Babies, we believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion are essential to fulfilling our mission of supporting NICU families with compassion and care. We are committed to maintaining a culture of belonging for all. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, marital status, pregnancy, medical condition, or veteran status.

Our programs are designed to improve access to healthcare, mental wellness, and supportive resources for all NICU families, with a particular focus on those historically underserved or underrepresented. We believe every parent deserves barrier-free, compassionate support during their NICU journey. Internally and externally, we uphold the values of collaboration, creativity, integrity, and respect. These principles guide our work, shape our culture, and ensure that all voices are welcomed and heard.

We recognize that this work is ongoing, and we are committed to continued learning, reflection, and action to advance equity and inclusion across all levels of our organization.

Founded in San Diego in 2009, Miracle Babies was created to support families with newborns in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). What began as a local effort has grown into a vital resource for families across Southern California.

Today, we provide essential support through three key programs:

Transportation Services – ensuring parents can be with their hospitalized baby.
Mental Health Support – offering counseling and resources to help families cope.
Supportive Services – providing comfort and connection through Miracle Hours and Care Packages.

Miracle Babies serves families with hospitalized newborns throughout San Diego, Orange, and Los Angeles counties, easing burdens so parents can focus on what matters most-their baby’s health and well-being.
