Specifically, Brady's Smile, Inc. will promote, improve, protect and sustain the health, emotional well-being and social development of children in need, including children suffering from illness or disability, children at risk and under served children. It is our goal to help in the following ways: 1) Help make life easier in the newborn and pediatric intensive care facilities for patients and their families; 2) Provide financial assistance to defray medical expenses; and 3) Establish and grant scholarships to educational institutions benefiting children in need. In 2023, Brady's Smile's programs serve patients mainly in pediatric and newborn Intensive Care Units ("ICU") in 32 pediatric hospitals across 16 states. Our Comfort Bags program provides basic essentials to caregivers and toys to babies and children who are in the ICU of children's hospitals. Our bags include items such as toiletries, a pen, paper, snacks, stuffed animals and toys. Our comfort bag program also includes special holiday bags as well. We provide holiday bags for Valentine's Day, Easter, Halloween and stockings for Christmas. In 2023 we also started to include a new "smaller version" of our comfort bags for the hospitals with less storage space. During 2023, Brady's Smile distributed 2,885 comfort bags to families in the hospital. 23887 23887 Our Meals program provides breakfast, lunch and/or dinner to children and their parents while in the hospital. We have also expanded to include free breakfast items, cups of coffee and delivery from restaurants. We found that many people appreciated free coffee and breakfast items. During 2023, Brady's Smile served 4,575 meals, cups of coffee or breakfast to people in the hospitals. 9833 9833 This year is our second year of distributing "Teen Totes." This program is very similar to our Comfort Bag program but focuses on the needs of teens in the hospital. Each tote runs approximately $25-30 and includes items such as yoga mats, wireless ear buds, slime, journals, gel pens, candy, puzzles, make up and chapstick, cozy socks, soft 'balls' for them to throw in their rooms plus more. In 2023, we provided 188 Teen Totes to our partnering hospitals. 5905 5905 This year is our eighth year in a partnership with Bridgeport Hospital to help provide toys and other services to their 'Toy Closet.' We consider this to be similar to our comfort bag program, but this program provides toys to babies in the NICU/PICU as needed throughout their stay, as well as inpatient children who complete various procedures during their stay. In 2023, we provided 371 toys/books for children/babies at Bridgeport Hospital in CT. 5565 5565 Our Brady Blankets program provides homemade fleece blankets to babies and children during their time in the hospital. During 2023, Brady's Smile distributed 919 blankets to children in the ICU. 3834 3968 Our PICU and NICU Wishlist program is where we purchase things the child life department or nurses are directly requesting for the smallest patients. This year the request included grief bags which included grief books, tissues, heart stones and more for families who lost their child at Yale-New Haven Children's Hospital. In 2023, we granted 342 wishes to our partnering children's hospitals. 2100 2100 This year our Smiles in a Box program helped provide enhanced 'comfort bags' to children who were not in our partnering children's hospitals. This included helping 6 families out with items they needed to help assist their critically ill children. We distributed items like gas cards and holiday gifts and dinners to help families during this hardship. 1390 1401 52659 Anne Hinton President 30 0 0 0 Matthew Hinton Treasurer 5 0 0 0 Denise Flegal Board of Directors 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 CT Anne and Matthew Hinton 4 Gate Ridge Road Easton CT 06612 2036902004 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 68240 30173 35253 56456 69787 259909 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 68240 30173 35253 56456 69787 259909 96658 163251 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 259909 0.62811 0.69829 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^New office includes desk and tables and chairs and ac unit;840|Insurance annual premium;561|online transaction fees from paypal and venmo;505|promo sale item with new office and ad in book;617|Business registration fees for state;100^Total;2623^ Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 24 Undeposited Funds to be deposited in January 2024 Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 26 Credit card balances not being paid until January 2024 Filed 8868 for automatic six month extension
