Mom to Mom: 4th Annual ICU Baby Hope parade takes place at Zoo Miami

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – More than 1,000 people were in attendance the 4th Annual ICU Baby Hope parade at Zoo Miami in Miami-Dade on Sunday.

Several families shared their story with Local 10′s Nicole Perez who was the emcee for the event.

ICU Baby is a non-profit organization helps families in five different South Florida hospitals.

This Summer, Nicole was introduced to Baby Kaden. His family received support from the organization and was able to take him home in August, when he was four and a half months old.

He was born at 23 weeks.

Kaden’s due date was June 30, but he was born on March 9 at Holtz Children’s Hospital in Miami-Dade County.

ICU Baby helps about 1,000 families a year but would like to do more.
