Our Story

Riya Singh - Founder

My name is Riya Singh, and my journey began in a unique way. I was born at 30 weeks, weighing just a little over three pounds, and spent the first six weeks of my life in the NICU at Good Samaritan Hospital in San Jose, CA. Those weeks were a challenging time for my family, but the incredible care and support we received from the NICU staff and community left a lasting impact on our lives.

Now, as a 10th grader, I’ve channeled that experience into something meaningful: creating a nonprofit that brings warmth and comfort to NICU families. Through our organization, we sew and donate baby blankets to NICUs, offering not just a practical item, but a symbol of love, hope, and care for families navigating their own NICU journeys.

Each blanket is made with gratitude for the support we once received and the hope to make someone's day just a little brighter. This initiative is more than just giving back—it's about creating a circle of compassion that connects families like mine, then and now.

Join us in spreading warmth to those who need it most.
