In the photos you see story cards that were created by our volunteers for families with little ones in the NICU. Story Cards are small booklets consisting of 4 decorated 8" x 8" pages with photos. The story Cards are decorated in our 'scrapping room' with a variety of donated embellishments. Sometimes the volunteers make the Story Cards and sometimes the parents.

For those who already love to scrapbook or for those whose newborn will be in the NICU for an extended time, we have donated supplies on hand for them to begin making their baby’s scrapbook.

FirstMemories also donates albums to families to begin their own baby book for newborns who will stay in the NICU for an extended time.

We take photo's of the little ones the NICU & CVICU. All photos are burned onto CD's which are given to the families.

Another service of our group is to create a simple grieving album for families who lose their little one. We use donated supplies and volunteers to put together these photo albums.

These special albums will then be a home for the baby's photographs, and other items like foot prints, handprints, id bracelets, locks of hair, clipping from a blanket...

It is a way to honor their brief life, help the family’s grieving process and always remember their little one.

Our service hours are: Monday & Wednesday from 10:00 am - 1:00 pm.

If you are a current TCH NICU or CVICU family, we are available to serve your family during those hours. We are located in the conference room across from The Milk Bank on the 4th floor of the West Tower at TCH.

If you would like us to meet you bedside to take pictures of you and your little one, please contact us and we will visit you on our following service day: FirstMemories Contact Form
