A message from our Founder
Our Impact
This December, my family is grieving the 10th anniversary of our son Micah’s passing. As we grieve, we stand in awe of the NEC Society’s growth and impact, thanks to people like you. Your persistence, resilience, and belief in a movement bigger than any one of us are propelling the NEC Society’s vision. As we celebrate our progress, we know there is so much more work to do. Your collective stories inspire us to keep going, and your continued support allows us to redefine what is possible. Together, we are moving mountains for babies & families.
