✨ Looking Ahead

While we’re starting with the WakeMed NICU community, our vision is growing. In the future, we hope to partner with NICUs across the country to send waves of hope where they’re needed most. Your gift today is a seed for something greater.

Giving FAQs

Your donation helps send encouragement straight to the hearts of NICU families during one of the hardest seasons of their lives. Each card is more than paper — it’s a tangible reminder that they’re seen, loved, and not alone. By giving, you’re helping us surround NICU families with hope, healing, and prayer — one note at a time.
All donated cards will be personally delivered to be included in gift bags for WakeMed's Kangaroo-a-thon kickoff event. The kickoff will happen just before the start of the Kangaroo-a-thon, happening the first two weeks of May. During this special event, NICU families are encouraged to spend even more time doing skin-to-skin care — and your card will be a beautiful surprise waiting for them in that sacred space.
At this time, Notes of Hope is not a registered 501(c)(3), so donations are not tax-deductible. However, your gift goes directly toward blessing families and spreading hope. We believe the impact is eternal — and your generosity will help us continue to grow this mission and prayerfully expand to more NICUs in the future.
We would love to partner with your NICU! 💜 If you’re a NICU staff member, parent, or organization leader interested in bringing Notes of Hope cards or care items to your local NICU, please reach out through our Contact Page or email us directly at antoinyce@notesofhopenc.com. We’d be honored to explore how we can serve your NICU family community together.
Right now, all cards are curated and packaged by the Notes of Hope team with consistent love, prayer, and care. While we don’t offer personalization at this time, rest assured that every card is thoughtfully written and intentionally prepared to uplift and encourage each family who receives it. 💌
