Welcome!

We are Jason and Pam, founders of The Coco Project. Our story is series of wonderful, heartbreaking, and complicated circumstances, all leading to this endeavor.

The Coco Project was born out of being the parents of a special needs/medically complex child. Our son, Nico has spent approximately a third of his life in the hospital and we have had to learn to juggle family life in a nontraditional way. We have ridden the rollercoaster of the NICU and the PICU and are all too familiar with how difficult it can be on the whole family. The Coco Project is meant to be a series of “projects” to reach families like ours in order to support them as they are in need.

The Coco Project got its name from our daughter, Emily. While learning to speak, Nico’s name became “Coco” and it stuck. Our experience with our children has inspired us to extend a helping hand to other families like ours. Thank you for joining us here. We are so grateful for you.
