*UPDATE* - we have surpassed our initial goal of $17,000 (total amount comes from these donations, venmo & checks). We are still fundraising until Nov. 1 & are so excited to see how many families the Lord wants to bless!

The Heart behind our Ministry:

We are overjoyed to love families in the hospital through donating NICU blessing bags again! This year in Birmingham, Huntsville, Mobile, and Indianapolis!

*Please note your name, email, designated city & hospital where you'd like your donation to go & we will allocate it accordingly. If you do not have a specific location preference, we will use your donation towards whichever hospital is needed.

If you prefer Venmo, please send to Paul Barber @pbarber.

To mail a check, or with questions email [email redacted]

We see a huge opportunity with this way to love parents who are alone in the hospital with their babies, and would love for you to be a part. You can donate beginning today through November 1 & we will deliver right before Thanksgiving.

The NICU Blessing Bag Story:

After experiencing a 160 day NICU journey through 2020 with their daughter born at 1lb 2oz at 22 weeks, 3 days gestation, the Barber's lives were forever changed. In December 2020, the Lord allowed the Barber family & their community to give blessing bags to St. Vincent's and UAB Hospital families for Christmas in Birmingham. Last year, it grew to 8 hospitals & 420 families. We are so excited to come together this year and fundraise again for these blessing bags for hurting families in the hospital.

In the midst of grief, these families will receive a "hug" through items like a swaddle for their baby, a devotional book, a children's book, protein snacks, and more. Each bag will be specifically prayed over and contain a letter sharing our hope in Jesus Christ. We also plan to send goodies to the NICU staff members to bless them for all their hard work caring for the tiniest patients in this world.

If your office team, small group, Sunday school class, family, book club, or study group is looking for a way to serve this season, we’d love to have you join us!
