A New Beginning for Autumn: A Family's Journey to Hope

Spring is a time of renewal, and for new parents Nicole and Rob, the birth of their daughter, Autumn, was meant to be just that—a joyful milestone. But when Autumn was born with a rare condition and began having seizures, their world turned upside down. Rushed to Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital, Autumn spent 40 days in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, undergoing three emergency surgeries.

“Philanthropy is so important in making sure that life-saving treatments are available for all children,” Nicole shares. “I cannot put into words how grateful we are for the care we received and for the donors who make this level of care possible.”

Today, thanks to the expert care of the hospital’s specialists, Autumn is thriving—reaching new milestones and bringing joy to her family. Your support helps ensure every child has the opportunity to grow, heal and thrive with access to high-quality care, close to home, when it matters most.
