It's Official.
Brady’s Smile, Inc. is “Doing Big Things For Little Ones In Need.”
As our programs grow, so does our ability to
touch the lives of children in need. We started small by establishing
3 programs at Yale New Haven Children's Hospital ("YNHCH") in early August
2008 and recently formed partnerships with both Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh
of UPMC ("Children's") and DuBois Regional Medical Center ("DuBois") to begin
making a difference in lives of their ICU patients in early September 2008.
Please visit the links below to learn about our 3 initial programs,
Brady's Smile Comfort Bags, Brady Blankets and Music in the ICU ("MICU"),
as well as our new program, Meals By Matt & Annie, benefiting newborn
babies/children in the ICU and their care givers. Thanks again for
your continued support.
Brady’s Smile Comfort Bags provide basic essentials to caregivers
and toys to babies and children. We are currently committed
to providing approximately 70 bags a month to children and families
at YNHCH on an ongoing basis (split between NBSCU and PICU). In addition, we are also committed to providing
30 bags per month to Children's as well as 20 bags per month to DuBois.

Brady Blankets are homemade fleece blankets
that will be distributed to babies and children during their time in
the ICU. We are committed to providing 30 blankets per month to both
YNHCH and Children's.

Our MICU program will give every baby and child
an opportunity to benefit from the power of music during their time
in the ICU. It is our goal to provide crib-side CD plays and CDs (e.g.
Baby Einstein and Disney lullabies) to all YNHCH and Children's ICU cribs.

regarding the MICU program:
Our new Meals By Matt & Annie program aims
to provide monthly homemade meals to the parents, families and caregivers
of newborn and children's ICU patients. We are currently launching a
pilot program at DuBois and hope to expand this program in the near term.
