Spread Holiday Hope!

Hello! We’re the Lees — two-time NICU survivors and proud Co-Founders and CEOs of The Brave Foundation, home of our outreach project: The Brave Box.

As a registered nonprofit, our mission is to encourage bravery—especially in the lives of families navigating the NICU journey.

The Brave Box is more than a care package. It’s a symbol of hope. Each box is thoughtfully filled with handpicked essentials designed to nurture strength, resilience, and comfort for parents during one of the most challenging seasons of their lives.

This vision was born out of our own heartbreak—sitting beside our son Brave’s NICU bed, unsure if he would survive, but deeply committed to turning our pain into purpose and preserving his legacy through meaningful outreach.

Now, we’re preparing for our biggest donation of the year: The Brave Box Holiday Edition, and we need your help to make it unforgettable.

Our Goal: Deliver 100 Brave Boxes to families across three major Minnesota NICUs—each one filled with meaningful items wrapped in care and hope.

We are currently accepting:

• High-quality items for NICU families
• Local business products
• Handmade goods or art
• Services or gift cards that offer comfort and support

If you would like to contribute directly, please visit our Amazon Wish List:

Together, we can show NICU families that they are not alone. Your support can bring comfort, courage, and a reminder that even in the hardest moments—bravery lives here.
