Project Sweet Peas receives $1,000 Grant from DoJiggy Giving!

We are very excited to announce that we are a recipient of the DoJiggy Giving $1,000 grant! We greatly appreciate DoJiggy's commitment to providing support to non-profit organizations. Thank you DoJiggy for your generosity!

We also could not have received this funding, without your support! We were truly touched by the nominations that were given in our name. Please know that your continued support is acknowledged and deeply appreciated.

So what will the DoJiggy funds be utilized for? DoJiggy funds will be used to distribute hundreds of copies of  "My Sweet Pea's NICU Journal" to families enduring a NICU stay! This special journal gives parents a place to track baby's stats, record thoughts, and share milestones. These journals become invaluable resources to the families that receive them.

Thank you to DoJiggy and to all of our supporters!

With Gratitude,

The Project Sweet Peas Team
