We are pleased
to welcome one of our newest divisions, Zachary's Rainbows! Zachary's
Rainbows will be serving NICU families in the San Antonio, TX area.
Mica, Project Coordinator for Zachary's Rainbows, tells their story:
It all started
with Clara’s son Zachary. He was born in 2012 with multiple special needs and
spent 50 days in the NICU. This experience changed her and her husband’s lives
and opened a door to a world that they didn't know was there. They received
overwhelming support from family and friends, and they learned very quickly
that not everybody was as fortunate and that there was a lot of healing in
giving back. Zachary lived two months and two days.
After his
passing, Clara felt that his mission had just started and it was up to her to
keep it alive. Thanks to Zachary, Clara was able to see families in need
of care and comfort during the emotional times. As the proud mama
of 4: a 7 year old son and 3 angel babies, I felt a pull to help the cause any
way I could. We started our care project to provide baskets full of
comfort and helpful items for these families.
Clara recently
joined the NICU Family Council for North Central Baptist Hospital (where all
our donations go). Our goal has been to stay in contact with them and
continue learning about the needs of NICU families. We have the will and the
team and the desire to do more; to grow bigger and steady each year.
I now have a beautiful set of twin baby girls and my drive is even stronger to help these families. We are so honored to be part of the Project Sweet Peas organization and to get a chance to be even a bigger impact on the families in need. This will be our fourth year providing baskets and I know it is going to be the best year yet!
