We have personally seen lives turned upside down as they rise to the challenge of caring for a premature or sick newborn. Many families deal with the added pressures that come with a baby in the hospital for an extended period of time as well as the added financial burdens that follow. This is why we need to help. Sparrow's Heart is a non-profit organization supported by volunteers, many who are parents and relatives of prematurely born children. There are numerous ways to help, whether it’s by volunteering your time or making a donation.
