“We’re incredibly excited to be able to offer Baby Einstein products as part of the collection of comforting items that we’re delivering to babies with long hospital stays on floors such as Pediatric Intensive Care Units,” said Kat Miller, founder of Foxbox. “Partners like Baby Einstein — and their willingness to donate their incredible products — are key to ensuring that these amazing babies find the comfort, educational, developmental, and social/emotional support they need to endure long hospital stays during the most trying times for both them and their families.”
Foxbox works to provide free customized boxes tailored to each baby’s personality and developmental needs, in addition to supporting their parents and caregivers.
