Hushabye Nursery Raises $100,000 at “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” Event

More than 150 supporters gathered for an elegant party under the stars in October in support of Hushabye Nursery and babies most impacted by the opioid crisis. The fundraiser generated over $100,000 to be used to help babies suffering from Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS).

A Safe Haven

In 2017, Hushabye Nursery opened its 12-bed residential detoxification nursery in Phoenix for newborns painfully withdrawing from opioids they were exposed to in the womb, and their families struggling with opioid use disorder. It is the first-of-its-kind NAS nursery in the US to provide state-of-the-art, evidence-based NAS care with wraparound family support services. Hushabye provides a safe and inclusive space for mothers, family members and babies.

“Hushabye is exceeding existing models of care in improved health outcomes, cost efficiencies, and social determinants of health including less use of pharmacological treatments such as Morphine, shorter lengths of stay, less expensive care costs, and increased family reunification, ” said Tara Sundem, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Hushabye Nursery. She added, “Hushabye has served more than 600 babies. These funds will help serve more families in need. We are so grateful for the community’s support.”

Infants are cared for in a quiet, loving, therapeutic environment while they recover from intense withdrawal symptoms.

Hushabye Nursery is committed to providing families with the support they need to successfully navigate the road of recovery. To learn more or how to get involved visit http://www.hushabyenursery.org
