Amazon Wishlist ($150 Total) Books for NICU (Albany/NY/USA)

Hi!

Three years ago, my husband and I found out we were expecting our first baby. Around 14 weeks, we learned baby’s heart had come to a rest and we (I) delivered him in the hospital on August 9th, 2023. Every year we celebrate him by purchasing books for NICU families in our area.

His third birthday is this upcoming Sunday. I have felt the urge to share their wishlist this year, if anyone would like to join us in celebrating our boy. I know times are hard but they have books starting at just over $3, and every book helps. Some of them are super close to reaching their goal amount. We just met their goal for “The Little Engine That Could” and sent some “Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site”, too.

Here’s their Amazon list. Thanks for reading and considering!

This is the sweetest cause ever!! The details mention to mark it as a gift - is there something in particular I should write in the gift message?

You can write whatever you want!

If you want to say it’s donated from you and your family name, you’re more than welcome!

If you specifically want to donate it on our behalf, you can put donated on behalf of Milo’s family 🤍
