“Everyone at Hushabye was welcoming and very understanding,” Paige shares. “They listened to our concerns and tried to do everything they could to get our Scarlette through the difficult time. We were there for 10 days, and it went by much faster than I expected.”

She describes the staff as knowledgeable and present, ready to answer questions and offer comfort when it mattered most.

Looking ahead, Paige reflects on what she wants Scarlette to know as she grows. "Don't be afraid to ask for help. It's okay. Everyone needs help sometimes."

When asked to sum up Hushabye Nursery in one word, Paige doesn't hesitate: Compassionate.



That one word is what we strive to embody every day—for every baby, every parent, every journey. And it’s stories like Paige and Scarlette’s that remind us why we do what we do.

At Hushabye Nursery, our volunteers are the soul of our mission. This month, we are honored to spotlight Cindy Misbeek, one of our incredible volunteers whose quiet dedication speaks volumes and whose impact ripples through every tiny life she touches.

Cindy explains why she keeps coming back. “For me, it’s the importance of the mission. I’m continually inspired by the incredible staff and the opportunity to be part of something so meaningful. Even in a small way, it’s fulfilling to help people move forward in a positive direction.”

Volunteering at Hushaybe Nursery has changed Cindy. "This work has introduced me to people I never would have met otherwise. It has expanded my understanding of the many challenges families face and deepened my empathy in a way I never expected.”

We are so grateful for Cindy and all of our volunteers. Their time, heart, and unwavering belief in the power of healing are the foundation of everything we do.
