NICU baby holds the finger of a gloved medical practitioner.

The Tides of Hope Journey Necklace honors the strength and resilience of babies in the UM St. Joseph Mrs. Alonzo G. Decker Jr. Neonatal Intensive Care Unit who have undergone especially complicated courses of treatment.

This gift is meant to help mark the milestones achieved on their journey to graduating from the NICU.

Funded entirely by donations, this keepsake provides hope, encouragement and a tangible way to celebrate each baby’s unique care experience. Your support ensures we can continue providing these special necklaces to NICU families.
