Giving Back

The neonatal intensive care unit became my family’s second home in 2019, as my son was born with a rare congenital malformation. He spent nearly 200 days in the NICU at The Montreal Children’s Hospital, undergoing life-saving surgeries. I remain deeply grateful for the doctors, nurses and healthcare professionals who give hope to families like mine.

Since 2020, I have created holiday ornaments to benefit The Montreal Children’s Hospital Foundation. I continue to partner with the hospital’s Child Life department for special holiday activities in the neonatal intensive care unit. I am always grateful for the opportunity to meet other families and calligraph their babies’ names. All our stories are all very different, but the immediate connection between NICU mothers is a profound one.
