About Notes of Hope & Our Founder

Welcome, friends!

I’m Antoinyce Mathis, a proud former NICU mom and the heart behind Notes of Hope. Once a NICU mom, always a NICU mom—it’s a journey that forever shapes you. I’ve lived the roller coaster of the NICU: the highs and lows, joys and disappointments, frustrations and hopes.

Because of my own journey, it’s my joy and passion to bring hope to NICU moms, dads, and families, whether directly or through their loved ones, as they navigate the NICU.

We offer heartfelt specialty greeting cards, thoughtful gifts, and practical tools to help people show up for their loved ones when they need it most. We want every NICU family to be reminded that they are never alone on this journey.

I can’t wait to support you and your family!
