2025 Walking Letter of Hope Day | Local Walk & Celebration!

On July 31st, we gathered together for our annual Walking Letter of Hope Day, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible support from our community of donors, sponsors, volunteers, and NICU families. The evening was a beautiful celebration of the strength and resilience of NICU families, and it’s because of your generosity that we were able to bring this vision to life!

As the sun set on a warm summer night in Dilworth, our community came together—NICU moms walking hand in hand with their children, families wearing their Dear NICU Mama shirts, friends holding signs of encouragement. The evening was filled with a powerful sense of solidarity and we won’t ever forget it.

Because of you, Dear NICU Mama is able to continue its mission of offering hope, community, and resources to NICU moms across the country. Your support of Walking Letter of Hope Day 2025 helps us expand our reach, offer trauma-informed peer support, and ensure that no NICU mom ever feels alone on her journey.
