Project: Cameron’s Story Book Raiser

Project: Cameron’s Story is a 501c(3) public children’s charity. This organization helps families with babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) – the babies in the NICU are often so fragile that they can’t be touched. Through the efforts of this foundation, each family with a baby at an NICU unit in area hospitals receives a book to read to their baby. Books can be donated through Scholastic Books, or online through Wishlist on Amazon.com. Book donations are due by February 10, 2023. 

Project: Cameron’s Story was named for Cameron Quartiers, who proved that this type of bonding can be tremendously helpful to families in the most difficult of circumstances – Cameron was born 16 weeks premature, weighing 530 Grams (just under one pound, three ounces), and was on a special ventilator for the first weeks of his life. His mother decided that reading to him would be a way that she could bond with him without being able to touch him… She found that Cameron became responsive to her voice. Cameron spent 213 days in the NICU/PICU, and was able to spend a brief period at home, but passed away on October 20, 2009.

Project: Cameron’s Story helps families bond with their children, and assists with the child’s development while in the NICU. Cameron’s story is one of strength, hope and love… This book raiser helps to empower parents to form unique bonds with their children in an environment which can be overwhelming.
