When your child is in the Cardiac ICU, comfort can feel out of reach. Project Mom Bags was created to bring a small touch of care and support to moms during their hardest moments. We provide thoughtfully packed bags filled with comfort and hygiene essentials — reminding moms they are not alone.
The idea for Project Mom Bags started when Laura’s son, Grant, was in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CVICU) his first year of life. Grant was born with a congenital heart defect which led to a life saving heart transplant. She was a new mom and had no idea what was ahead of her. Living in her child’s ICU room is not what she imagined her “postpartum journey” to look like. From living that experience and watching others do the same, Laura founded Project Mom Bags. The amount of stress a parent feels in these situations are unimaginable. The goal is to take an ounce of that stress away by supporting these moms with comfort items.

Project Mom Bags is a nonprofit organization supporting postpartum moms with babies in the Cardiac or Neonatal ICU.
Each of our comfort bags are filled with thoughtful essentials — like a toothbrush, blanket, towel, and toiletries — to bring dignity and relief during the hardest days. Whether it’s day one or day fifty of a hospital stay, our goal is to remind moms:
You are seen. You are supported. You are not alone.

At Project Mom Bags, we believe every mom—regardless of background, identity, or circumstance—deserves dignity, care, and support. We recognize the systemic barriers that impact families differently and are committed to providing inclusive, compassionate comfort to all moms with children in the Cardiac or Neonatal ICUs. Everyone deserves to feel seen and supported, especially during their hardest days.
