WeeCare provides specialized support for Jewish families navigating the experience of having a premature infant in the NICU. Founded by women who personally faced the challenges of raising preemies, the organization focuses on addressing needs that are both medically complex and uniquely tied to the realities of frum life. WeeCare bridges the gap between hospital systems and the Jewish family experience, offering support that takes into account halachic, emotional, and community-specific concerns.
The organization assists families with guidance on how to manage Shabbos and Yom Tov when a baby is in the hospital, understanding medical procedures, handling communication with doctors, and supporting siblings who are coping with the stress of a premature birth. It also offers peer support and validation from those who understand the intersection of NICU life and Torah values. A core aspect of their service is helping families find strength in emunah while navigating medically and emotionally intense situations.
WeeCare also connects parents with others who have gone through similar experiences and helps them access relevant communal resources that may otherwise be overlooked. The organization is structured to be a responsive and evolving support network that fills a unique gap in the Jewish communal landscape.
