The Tiny Miracles Foundation assists over 1,000 local families per year throughout Fairfield County through programs at our five partner hospitals: Stamford, Norwalk, Bridgeport, Danbury, and St. Vincent’s Medical Center and services to the community at large. Support provided by TTMF volunteers who have personally experienced the premature birth of a baby, the complications that arise, the challenges families face, and in sad cases, the loss of a precious tiny miracle, is invaluable to these families and is one of the many things that makes TTMF so special.
TTMF is in its sixteenth year supporting preemies and their families in Fairfield County. To learn more about The Tiny Miracles Foundation and their support programs, please go to www.ttmf.org or call the office at 203-202-9714.
Upcoming events include the Family Fun Day and NICU Reunion, a free event open to all families of premature children, at Cranbury Park on May 31, 2020 and the annual golf and tennis events, Tee Up FORE Preemies and Grand Slam for Preemies, at Aspetuck Valley Country Club on June 22, 2020. TTMF also hosts a free biweekly playgroup for newborn to 3 year old preemies in Darien and Bridgeport, CT.
