The Little Miracles Grant Application
Financial grant on behalf of The Miracle Miles Foundation, Inc. [approved 501(c)(s) organization; EIN: 39-3875949] for parents/guardians while baby is experiencing a current extended stay in the NICU (more than 90 days) at Winnie Palmer Hospital (Orlando, FL) or Johns Hopkins All Children's (St. Pete, FL), with an expected further continued stay of more than 30 days.
We understand first-hand how challenging a long NICU stay can be for families. The Little Miracles Grant exists to help ease that burden whenever we can, to allow you more time with your baby without the immense stress of making ends meet. Because our program is supported by donations, the number and amount of grants we can provide depend on the funds available at the time of application.
This application should take 5-10 minutes and requires certain attestations and supporting documentation.
