This year will be NVS's third year taking collections for Project Cameron’s Story. This organization provides free, brand new books for families who have children in the NICU at hospitals in Albany, Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse. These books provide the opportunity for families to bond with their medically fragile children, when they’re in a setting that isn’t home. Both Jessica Holmes and Wendy Pitoniak have daughters who were born prematurely and spent significant time i...n the NICU. For more information, check out http://www.projectcameronsstory.org or Project Cameron’s Story on Facebook.
