When Olivia was born at just 34 weeks, her family unexpectedly found themselves spending weeks in the neonatal intensive care unit at Lee Health Golisano Children's Hospital of Southwest Florida.

While Olivia received expert care from her medical team, donor support helped care for her family, too.

Through 24/7 remote monitoring technology funded by philanthropy, Olivia's parents could check in on their daughter anytime, even when they needed to care for their other children, rest, or step away from her bedside.

Today, Olivia is thriving, but her family will never forget the comfort of being able to see her during those uncertain days.

Stories like Olivia's remind us that generosity does more than support exceptional pediatric care. It helps families stay connected, find hope, and feel supported when they need it most.
