Happy Valentine’s Day from Hushabye—where love looks a lot like swaddles, midnight feedings, and showing up again and again. This Valentine's Day, we’re celebrating the kind of love that isn’t flashy or expensive, but steady, patient, and life-changing (and occasionally fueled by coffee). Every baby, every parent, every staff member, donor, and volunteer reminds us that love really is an action word.

Thank you for being part of our Hushabye love story—we promise to keep the cuddles coming and the hearts full.

February 19: Your Gift Matched

On February 19, 2026, the AZ Tax Credit Funds Guided Giving Platform will match the first $100,000 in tax credit donations made that day.

That means your Arizona Charitable Tax Credit gift to Hushabye Nursery could be doubled — helping us provide compassionate care to substance-exposed babies and the families who love them.

AZ Tax Credit Double

Did you know that babies at Hushabye Nursery are cared for in a calm, home-like environment specifically designed to reduce withdrawal symptoms? By minimizing noise, lights, and unnecessary stimulation—and responding quickly to each baby’s cues—Hushabye helps many babies eat better, sleep longer, and require less medication than they would in a traditional hospital setting. Sometimes, the most powerful medicine is simply the right environment.

Now you know.

Our 4th Annual Twinkle Twinkle Little Star event will be Saturday, November 7, 2026 at the Westin Kierland. Mark your calendars now. More details coming soon!

Congratulations to Dina

Dina is a natural leader whose presence elevates everyone around her. The depth of knowledge and leadership she brings to our entire team at Hushabye has strengthened our ability to deliver truly evidence-based care. She leads with confidence and calm, making even complex situations feel manageable.

Dina is easygoing and consistently greets each day with a genuine smile.

Our families absolutely adore her, and her peers respect and trust her deeply.

When Dina arrives in the nursery, she is a breath of fresh air. She has an incredible gift for explaining what’s happening in clear, down-to-earth terms that families can truly understand.

Because of her, families feel informed, empowered, and confident in their babies’ plan of care.

She teaches us all simply by how she shows up and leads every day. We are fortunate to have Dina as part of our Hushabye family.

Job Openings

For almost two years, Susan has been a steady, comforting presence in our nursery. After volunteering in the NICU for years, Susan was drawn to a place where babies and families are wrapped in compassion.

"It fills me with gratitude every time I'm here. There's nothing like calming a baby. It makes me feel like I'm doing some good in my world."

She looks forward to her four-hour shift where she holds, soothes, and supports each baby's healing.

She describes the Hushaybe Nursery staff as Miracle Workers. The commitment and compassion they show every family is heartwarming.

We're grateful for volunteers like Susan who make our mission possible.

If you are available for a three-hour nighttime shift, please send us an email to connect with our volunteer coordinator.

Family Comes First

· We keep families together. Many of the families we serve fear judgment, separation, or worse. We step in with open arms, not raised eyebrows. We educate, empower, and equip parents to heal — not just for themselves, but for their children. With our care model, we’ve helped hundreds of families stay united and healthy.

· We are breaking the cycle of trauma and addiction. Through evidence-based care, peer support, mental health services, and a trauma-informed environment, we don’t just treat symptoms — we address root causes. Your support helps us break generational patterns and build futures.

· We make your dollars count. Every contribution to Hushabye Nursery goes directly toward creating healthier beginnings. From diapers to detox protocols, from peer support to outpatient services — your support is felt in every single baby cry that turns into a coo.

· We are your neighbors. This isn’t some faraway cause. These are Arizona’s babies. These are our community’s families. When you support Hushabye, you invest in our shared future — one that is more compassionate, more equitable, and more hopeful.

We know there are many causes out there. But if your heart is moved by the cry of a baby who just wants to be held, by the strength of a mother fighting to be better, by the power of second chances — we invite you to stand with us.

Be the reason a baby gets to go home.

Be the reason a mother chooses hope.

Be part of the story that says, “We don’t give up on families.”
