Special shoutout to our friend @mattprater5 for repping Madelyn’s Fund cleats at this past Sunday’s #MyCauseMyCleats game and raising awareness for NICU families. We’re honored to be represented in a way so close to our hearts 🏈

If you’ve come across our page and want to know

If you’ve come across our page and want to know more about how Madelyn’s Fund was started and what we aim to do as an organization, this post is for you!

It all began when founders Rachel and Andy Lee welcomed their third child, a beautiful daughter named Madelyn Elizabeth, into their family. She spent time in the NICU due to delivery complications and fought an infection, as well. The Lees were faced with an earth-shaking tragedy when their daughter passed away at only eight days old.

They realized that many NICU families incur unexpected costs, including daily travel to visit their NICU babies and sometimes funeral expenses, but not all of them are able to cover these costs. In November of 2016, they launched Madelyn’s Fund in an effort to provide these families with the financial support that they so desperately need. Though Andy’s NFL career has taken them all over the country, they were passionate about serving the community of their permanent home: Charlotte, NC and providing support to NICU families throughout the Carolinas.

“We are humbled to honor our daughter’s memory by supporting other NICU families through Madelyn’s Fund. Thank you for following our journey and joining us in this important work!”

- Rachel and Andy Lee

Thank you so much to everyone who donated as a par

Thank you so much to everyone who donated as a part of Giving Tuesday. We were blown away by your generosity, and we were able to surpass our goal and raise $2,850! This means we will be able to bless Baby B’s family for the holidays and provide ongoing support to other families like theirs. You’re making a difference - thank you!

Giving Tuesday is here!! Join us in supporting swe

Giving Tuesday is here!! Join us in supporting sweet Baby B (pictured here) and his family at the link in our bio. Born premature with ventricular septal defect (VSD) and Down Syndrome, he continues to need respiratory support due to low oxygen levels, despite having had a heart repair. This special baby may need another heart surgery.

On top of that, Baby B’s family is experiencing the financial hardship of spending four months in the NICU. They also live hours away and recently lost their car.

B’s mother says, “It has been very challenging having B at a hospital away from home. I came with B to Levine's on Sep 24 and stayed for a few weeks with him. B's dad was unable to come with me as he had to stay at home to work and stay with B's twin brother and older sister. Due to our financial situation, I had to get a job as a housekeeper at a motel. I have not been able to visit B since I left in the middle of October. I have been working a lot and taking care of my son and daughter. I had planned to try to come visit B, however our only car ended up catching fire and is totaled so I have no transportation to get there. For now, I call and speak with B's medical team daily and my sister (who lives an hour from Levine’s) visits each week.”

Please help us support this family by donating today! All money raised will go toward simple requested items like pots and pans, toiletries, baby supplies, clothing and a few special gifts like stuffed animals and baby dolls. It would be our honor to bless this family with your support on Giving Tuesday. Visit the link in our bio to help!

Happy Thanksgiving, from everyone at Madelyn’s F

Happy Thanksgiving, from everyone at Madelyn’s Fund! We’re grateful for this wonderful community and hope you feel loved today. 💕

📣A NICU FAMILY NEEDS OUR HELP. Giving Tuesday

📣A NICU FAMILY NEEDS OUR HELP. Giving Tuesday is almost here, and we have an incredible opportunity to help a wonderful NICU family who needs significant support. We hope you’ll read their story and consider giving between now and 11/28!

Baby B was born at 35 weeks and he spent his first two months in the NICU receiving care for his heart condition, ventricular septal defect (VSD), and Down Syndrome. He was transferred to Levine Children’s CVICU in September for further treatment. He has had one heart surgery, but continues to need respiratory support and has significant feeding issues–he also battled the rhinovirus this fall.

Baby B’s treatment comes with a significant financial burden. His parents have had to take on extra jobs and tragically lost their car, which both keep them from being able to visit as much as they want to and is weighing heavily on the family. Please consider donating to bless Baby B’s parents, twin brother and 6-year-old sister with some much needed supplies, like household items, baby supplies and Christmas gifts. You can donate starting now through Giving Tuesday at the link in our bio. 🙏🏻
