The lines between the use of AI and mental health are pretty blurry. It makes for new topics of discussion and important points to cover in treatment of different mental health disorders.

Luke’s Legacy Boxes wishlists 2025 are live!

Almost 18 years ago, we welcomed our perfect Luke into the world.

We had no idea that his heart was so broken, nor that we wouldn’t get to keep him. We were thrust into the NICU journey: one where you shudder with every beep, cry a ridiculous amount of tears, smile at the small things, like your baby pooping or taking an ounce from a bottle. A place where you face fears you never knew possible. A place with the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. Frankly, it’s a place where no parent wants to be.

Just eleven months later, we once again found ourselves on the same terrifying journey with James. More beeps, more tears, more small wins, and more fears. Again, not a place we wanted to be.

Although no two NICU journeys are the same, our goal over the past TEN years has been the same: to make the holidays a bit brighter for these families, as they deal with one of the most difficult journeys of their lives.

But as we say each year, none of this would be possible without the support of friends and family from around the world. With your help, we have delivered over 240 boxes to families who are facing the unimaginable. Luke’s Legacy Boxes serves as a way for us to honor the life of our son, while letting these families know that they are not alone.

Both hospitals have a higher number of babies this year, so we will once again plan for 35 boxes. Again, your support is what makes this project possible.

So without further ado, please see the Amazon and Target lists below.

And thank you. From the bottom of our whole hearts. In memory of a boy with half a heart. ❤️🎄🎁

There’s still a couple more days to donate to the NICU Parent Club for their annual rock-a-thon.

This group of women provide support, hope, and so many other things to parents who have to have a NICU stay with their baby or babies. These women spend countless hours visiting families, connecting them to resources, and bringing them and their babies little things that can make such a difference when you’re in the trenches of a traumatic NICU stay. This fundraiser allows them to continue to do this for the parents in our local NICUs.

I was lucky enough to be asked to be the mental health advisor for the NICU parent club to help bring resources related to mental health but above all, this hits on a very personal level.

My twins had an extensive NICU stay which was one of the most difficult times of my husband and my lives. Each day was filled with fear, exhaustion, and uncertainty and we were blessed enough to not only be able to bring home both of our babies (we know thay so many others do not get that privilege), but with early interventions were able to give them the best life possible. After some time, I was able to connect with the NICU parent club to meet other moms, help give back to others, and I truly believe it has helped in my healing over the years.

I have donated through my private practice - Mind in Bloom Counseling but am rocking in honor of my children. If you would like to donate through my team here is the link: https://go.rallyup.com/56d64f/t/mindinbloomcounseling/Team/Details

If you would like to donate separately, you can use the same link and navigate to the main page or visit www.nicuparentclub.com. If you go on their website, the list other ways you can help their mission. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to reach out!
