The Little Angel Fund consists of a group of parents helping parents through a difficult time in their lives. Our purpose is to make life a little easier and more comfortable for the premature and seriously ill infants and their families, while they are in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, after they graduate from the NICU and to act as a source of help and support for the bereaved. We are dedicated to supporting, educating and caring throughout the NICU experience.

       Some of our services include:

• Maintain an up-to-date file containing printed material on various subjects dealing with prematurity, subsequent high risk pregnancy, grief and bereavement.
• Provide a support network of volunteers to operate a telephone referral/information program.
• Offer matched Parent to Parent Listeners for parents who wish to talk to someone with similar experiences.
• Publish a Newsletter twice a year to serve as a vehicle for parents and families to share their feelings and experiences.
• Organize and sponsor fund raisers to raise money for local area Neonatal Intensive Care Units, especially at the University Hospital & Medical Center in Stony Brook, NY.
• Offer High Risk and Bereavement Packets.
• Participate and sponsor conferences, workshops and lectures in order to obtain information.
• A Welcome Gift Packet is given to every baby admitted into the NICU at Stony Brook University Hospital.
• A Discharge Gift Diploma is presented to every baby discharged from the NICU at Stony Brook University Hospital.

       Remember, you are not alone. If we can be of assistance, just call or write. We will do all we can to be of support. In order to achieve our goals, maintain our services and expand our programs, we sponsor fund raising events and accept donations. The following is a list of our upcoming events. All are welcome.
