High Risk Hope

HRH is highlighting the nonprofit organizations that will carry on our legacy of hope for HROB and NICU families as we distribute over $500,000 of our remaining monetary and non-monetary assets.

HRH will provide funding for three initiatives at Tampa General Hospital. The Fetal Care Family Aid Fund supports families receiving care from the Fetal Care Team by helping them pay for hotel stays, supplies, and medications. The Neonatal Exposure Program helps expectant mothers struggling with addiction. HRH’s funds will provide one year of care packages that include useful items for postpartum and newborn care. HRH will also help purchase a point-of-care ultrasound machine for the Jennifer Leigh Muma NICU at TGH.
