The Little Angel Fund, Inc. is
a non-profit, tax exempt organization, established in March of 1984 by Jenny
& Joseph Tranfaglia in memory of their daughter, Amanda Rose. Amanda
was born 16 weeks premature and after a 33 day struggle for life, she died.
Our efforts to offer information, increase awareness, educate, comfort, and
listen, have not been in vain. For if we help only one family, then our mission
has been accomplished.
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.
