Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Philanthropy, Philanthropy, Charity & Voluntarism Promotion

Mission: Carter G. Cares was created when Marcellas and Ashely Preston’s son Carter Godwin Preston was born, weighing 1lb 4oz and had to fight for his life in the NICU for over 226 days. After many battles with pneumonia, multiple blood transfusions, fighting chronic lung disease, Carter is now at home flourishing! Thanks to the support they received from nurses, hospital staff and friends and families they were able to overcome a difficult time. With Carter G. Cares they hope to do the same for other families. CGC's goal is to assist other families that are going through similar situations. They understand the sleepless nights, the consistent worries, the fears and trying to keep hope high in challenging times. CGC's goal is to provide consistent support to NICU families and educate the community on prematurity and high-risk pregnancy. Being a non-profit CGC accepts any amount of donations or volunteers to assist with packaging meals and cooking meals to deliver to families and food donations. With the support from donations and volunteers Carter G. Cares can continue to provide resources to families of the NICU.

Carter G Cares is one of my favorite nonprofits. My niece and her husband experienced very trying times as new parents to a super premie baby boy. With the support of both the wonderful NICU staff and other parents of premature babies they were able to learn and grow while preparing to bring their little fighter home. They turned their gratitude into the nonprofit Carter G Cares. Carter G Cares brings meals, baby supplies and a whole lot of compassion to both parents and staff at NICUs in their area.

I had very liittle knowledge about premature babies and the care available to and needed by them. However, the family of these babies need lots of support during their babies stay in the NICU. Carter Cares provides a bridge for these parents by providing support, knowledge and care. I am a proud supporter of this great organization.

One of the many initiatives that Carter G Cares (CGC) leads is monthly snacks/cares packages for NICU families. They also contribute a lot to health care workers in the NICU and beyond. CGC has a great mission, vision, and potential and has grown impressionably since it's establishment. CGC does great but is missing an element of operational support needed to take the organization to the next level. This is CGC's biggest level of improvement.

Carter G Cares is contributing greatly to the community and with their focus area. They are committed to providing consistent support to families of the Neonatal Intensive Care (NICU) and educating the community on prematurity and high-risk pregnancy. They have no areas that need improvement, but they would improve with their reach with more funding. The more donations they have would impact even greater!
