My Nonprofit Reviews

Project sweet peas has been life changing to the staff and families here at flushing hospital and Medical center. Our Level 3 NICU serves a largely underserved community. We are are a safety net hospital and were at the epi center of the Covid 19 pandemic. Sweet Peas allows us to provide for our families in a unprecedented way. They have given us so many resources from handouts , memory boxes, clothes, Momma Roos and the ever popular graduation kits. Before I had the pleasure of reaching out to Corin Nava, the staff would try to buy outfits for those families that arrived with nothing to pick up their babies ready to go home. I vividly remember Corin asking what our budget for these kind of supplies- the answer was we simply had no budget, She quickly sprang into action and changed the life of both our families and staff. Instantly I saw the staff, happier and excited- it does feel good to not only grow them but send them home with gifts and appropriate clothing and of course our love. The Moms love the chance to journal, especially when they have a long road ahead of them, of course these beautiful journals were also provided by Project Sweet peas. I could write for days about how wonderful this non profit is and about how they change the life of our most vulnerable patients and the community we serve- Thank You for the opportunity to review Project Sweet Peas- Marianne Ostrander BSN RNC CNM
