Project 4:14

This beautiful box is set to go over - 915 - miles to Pennsylvania this weekend

This family is welcoming their precious baby boy into their family and are in need of just a little extra encouragement and thoughts through their stay, It may seem small to some. but It truly makes such a difference for families to know that there is someone out there who sees them, hears them and understands what they may have been going through before or during their stay and that it does truly get better!

Our team is so incredibly thankful for our friends who helped make this possible by “sponsoring” their package and also by helping us to connect with their family through a suprise gifting. We are sending our thoughts and prayers to precious baby (P) and their parents that they can continue to support their precious new addition through the rest of their NICU stay and for great strength, great days and great reports to come!

If you know a NICU family or high risk pregnant parent who is in need of support and encouragement. Please let them know we are here to help in every possible way we can before, during and after their stays!!
If you are interested in helping fill our supplying needs or future projects please contact Alexandria Hicks to discuss what we do and can do! if you see a part of your works in this! THANK YOU!

After some consideration of how fast school is soon approaching we decided to grab as much as we could in the meantime with the tax free weekend to complete our 2024 with hundreds worth of assorted supplies and items we have gathered to bless these moms and dads with what we could and hopefully take just a little bit of stress off of their finances for their other children who will be returning to school while they are navigating having a split household for the time being. We are continuing to pray for these families that their children thrive both in school, at home and in the NICU and for wonderful days to come. Please pray for safety over all of your children home and hospital.

I want to say a tremendous thank you to those who made this possible, even if it was just a single pack of pencils you have helped make a difference in one families life and your kindness will always carry on moving forward!! This is such a beautiful turnout and as always it overjoyed me to see my daughters former team members and show them updates and thank them repeatedly for the work they have done and continue to do.

- Our next major collection for a specific request will be the fall pumpkin/October/Halloween hats and such! We will be doing as needed drop offs for families across the nation continued and also families local to us in surrounding Nicus we also have another plan for T-shirts in the following months

As always, if you know a parent who is in need of emotional, physical and financial support or even a high risk parent who is dealing with complicated pregnancies and low chances. Please direct them to our director Alexandria Hicks so that we may assist as much as we can where we can. Have a blessed rest of your week and thank you so much again for continuing to love these families like you would your own. 

Happy Tuesday everyone !

Just a early week update on where we are and what we are working on, we are still actively collecting to fill backpacks for families who have children in the NICU and at home as well, we are in need of ALL supplies and we are extremely grateful for those who have donated already. If you would like to order supplies online or in person or drop off please let us know as soon as possible 🎒🤍 we are so grateful for all the love already sent towards this specific outreach and can’t wait to drop off already!!

SECONDLY!

We haven’t “officially “ dropped the news yet but this is more a teaser for our SECOND annual “project pumpkin” where we donate hundreds of pumpkin hats to LVL3 nicus across the nation. (our incredible crochet friends have already started to work on some hats and patterns and we are so excited to see them!!) we plan to collect til the end of September so we can promptly start Santa hats directly after!! If you know any friends or crocheters who would like to become a part of these events please send them our way! Even if it’s one hat made, that is still one hat donated to a baby and family who will never forget the gift you gave them! 🤍

Thank you to all of our friends, family and followers who continue to keep project 4:14 running and possible! We are so thankful for half a year down of beautiful projects done!

A very, very tremendous thank you to Missy Lee and more for their donation of our Fourth of July hats this year!! As a parent of a medically fragile child, who spent 10+ holidays inside the hospital, I know how important it is to celebrate each and every day and make the most out of it. For a lot of these babies they are too critical to be put in outfits and moved around too much so all they are able to wear for months upon months are a simple crochet hat. And in the worst of case scenarios, sometimes this may be a baby’s first and last holiday so every last one of them deserve to be celebrated in someway 🤍🇺🇸 It means a lot for the parents have hats that are created specifically with them in mind and as cute as this so thank you again to our beautiful Missy!! and if followers could please keep her in mind and spirit as well. She is navigating some tough news that we are believing in full healing and restoration!!

We are still collecting school supplies of all sorts as we welcome into July and prep for the following months and we currently have three bags in donation and several other bags that have been pledged but if you were interested in donating or sponsoring a bag, please let our team know know as soon as possible as we are hoping to donate by August 5th, can roughly be filled for under $20 and a very, very gently used backpack can make all the difference for a family in a critical time of their life. Even if it’s dollar store, pencils and notebooks and paper. That is still pencils and supplies that a parent will not have to worry about buying for their child as they are out of work financially struggling during this time.

Have a happy SAFE Fourth of July 🇺🇸
