A tiny baby.
A whole family
who needs support.
A NICU stay can turn a family’s world upside down.
Alongside fear and uncertainty come everyday needs: meals during long visits, transportation to the hospital, supplies for going home, and somewhere to stay close by.
Noah’s Ark NICU Foundation helps families with financial and emotional support, reminding them they don’t have to face this journey alone.

Inspired by Noah.
Here for families.
Noah was born weighing just 1 lb 5 oz. His family experienced the uncertainty, the long hospital visits, and the hope that comes with each small step forward.
That experience inspired Dr. Maychelle Cooper-Rodney to establish Noah’s Ark NICU Foundation in January 2018—to give back with financial and emotional support for other NICU families.
