Comment: something worth knowing about and something worth doing something about.

On March 16, 2006, Brady Blaine Hinton was born at St. Vincent’s hospital in Bridgeport, CT. He passed away two years later on March 16, 2008, his 2nd birthday. In between those dates, Brady endured a life complicated by intricate medical conditions. Through everything his little body endured, he never stopped smiling. He beamed from ear-to-ear when listening to music and experiencing the brightest of lights. He showed people that despite it all, you can maintain a positive attitude. Now, his mother and father are taking the opportunity to honor their little boy’s spirit by making a difference in the lives of those who need the most help. They are a "mom and pop" with a personal cause. A start-up company dedicated to the greater good who hope to fulfill one ultimate goal: to become the largest children's based charitable foundation in the world. Brady's Smile, Inc. has applied to become a 501(c)(3) company and is awaiting approval.

FAIRFIELD, CT (July 24, 2008) - Starting August 7, 2008, Brady’s Smile, Inc. will officially begin “Doing Big Things For Little Ones In Need.” We are thrilled to introduce three very special programs that will take a step towards accomplishing our goal of making life easier for children in the ICU. All three of our programs will be provided to newborn babies/children and their caregivers at Yale-New Haven Children’s Hospital (“YNHCH”) Newborn Special Care Unit (“NBSCU“) and Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (“PICU“). The NBSCU cares for over 1,500 infants every year, while the PICU cares for children recovering from illness, trauma, cardiothoracic surgery and transplant operations, and serves more than 800 children every year.

“It is with the help, dedication and support we have received over the past three months, that we are able to accomplish this goal,” says Annie Hinton, co-founder of Brady’s Smile, Inc. “We hope everyone feels as passionate about these programs as we do. We set out to touch children’s lives, and we are so honored and touched to provide these programs to the children at YNHCH.”

Brady’s Smile will provide Brady’s Smile Comfort Bags, Brady Blankets and Music in the ICU (“MICU“) to very deserving people. Brady’s Smile Comfort Bags will provide basic essentials to caregivers and toys to babies and children. Brady Blankets are homemade fleece blankets that will be distributed to babies and children during their time in the ICU. The MICU program will give every baby and child an opportunity to benefit from the power of music during his or her time in the ICUs.
