Hope. Healing. Possibility.
Rewriting the narrative around extreme prematurity.
There is a future beyond this moment.
For families moving through the journey of extreme prematurity and the NICU, we see you. We are you. And we are here to offer hope, healing, and possibility for what life beyond extreme prematurity can look like. While the road every NICU family will travel is different, we want you to know there is something special on the other side, something more than what so many think is possible.
We’ve been there, through the highs and the lows and everything in between, and now we’re creating the place for you to thrive beyond the NICU. Join our community of supportive, uplifting parents, kids and families to see the promise of what lies beyond your NICU season.
We’re changing the narrative around extreme prematurity . We are honored to be a part of your journey, and we’re with you every step of the way as you invite hope, healing and possibility into your bigger story through 4those.
4those is a 501c(3) non-profit supporting NICU families across Colorado.

Parent Care Workshops
Families in the NICU fight a relentless fight against what can feel like the impossible. You are tired - physically, emotionally, spiritually. Parent and caregiver well being is essential in creating a healthy and thriving life for yourself and your family beyond the NICU experience . We want to offer our families a place to connect, to grieve, and to process in a safe, hopeful, and supportive group environment, no matter their individual micropreemie’s outcome. Join us for our regular Parent Care Workshops, offering extreme preterm birth family support.

Fundraising for NICU Families
The NICU is a marathon.
We raise funds for hope and healing through feats of endurance sports that mimic what families face when confronting extreme prematurity.
Here’s what’s coming up and how you can support NICU families and our vision for an adapted, accessible retreat center for kids of all abilities.
147 Documentary

As their stories entwine, Steph’s run and Zev’s fight for survival push the Hauser family’s hope to the limits.
