Memory-Making Kits

Every moment a family shares with their child is precious beyond measure, and when that time is heartbreakingly brief, each one becomes a memory to hold onto forever. Our memory-making kits are placed gently into the hands of families in the NICU, created to help them gather and preserve those moments for a lifetime.

McKenzie would never live to see the sun. These kits are how we carry her light to other families, a little bit of sunshine in their darkest moment.

A McKenzie's Rays of Sunshine memory-making kit: a keepsake basket with a comfort bear, hand and foot casting kit, lock-of-hair keepsake, and McKenzie's card

Made for each NICU we serve

No two hospitals are the same, and neither are the families they care for. We work directly with NICU and palliative care staff at every hospital we partner with to understand what their families truly need.

Then we pack each kit by hand with those items, chosen with love and care, so that what we deliver brings real comfort in the moments that matter most.

Kits in the NICU

Carrying McKenzie's light into the arms of families

We pack and deliver memory-making kits to families in New Orleans area NICUs, placing McKenzie's love into the arms of families walking through the hardest days of their lives. Each delivery is made possible by people who give their time, their hearts, and their support, and there is always another family waiting for the next one.

Help Us Fund the Next Kit

Every kit we deliver is made possible by people like you. Your gift helps us pack the next basket, reach the next family, and carry a little more of McKenzie's sunshine into a NICU that needs it. Every donation is fully tax-deductible.
