This is your impact . . .
We mean it when we say we couldn’t do this without you. As a tiny (but mighty!) nonprofit, we’re powered by you. We’re powered by your belief that all babies deserve a chance to grow and thrive, and by your commitment to making that possible.
It can be easy to underestimate or forget just how big a difference YOU make. So, just in case you need a reminder, we’re sharing a few words from your milk bank family . . .
“Giving birth at 27 weeks, I was terrified. Henry was just over 2lbs and so vulnerable. Struggling to give him the nutrition he needed, doctors told me about donor milk and I’m so thankful. Thinking back to everything my son went through and all his struggles, I’m happy with how far he’s come. Today, his doctors say, ‘You would never know he was born early,’ which is amazing. I eventually ended up sharing all the extra milk I had and wish I could donate even more.” ~ Heather L., mom of micro-preemie, Henry.
“Donating Bennett’s milk made me feel full and purposeful again. In many ways it felt like my world was crashing down around me but sharing his milk with families in need helped me feel connected to him. It was my way to inject some positivity back into a world that felt so negative.” ~ Savannah K., mom of angel baby, Bennett and his loving big brother Myles.
“I never expected to have to exclusively pump to feed my daughter. When I established an oversupply, I knew I had to share it. Knowing that my milk was going to help babies and parents was incredibly powerful. There is so much out there pitting parents, especially moms, against one another. I’m thankful that donating my milk allowed me to help other parents in a way that felt inclusive, meaningful, and kind. All babies deserve to be fed, loved, and cared for.” ~ Anna Clara Blesso, mom of sweet Gigi
“We’re so thankful Maddie and Henry were able to get the donor milk they needed in our darkest hours and their earliest days. We truly believe it’s what helped them grow (from 3lbs to 20lbs) and thrive so quickly.” ~ Katie J. mom of premature twins, Maddie & Henry
“Because Max needed consistent light therapy, I couldn’t take him out of the incubator to feed him. As a mom deeply committed to breastfeeding, I was devastated. Thankfully, doctors offered to use pasteurized donor human milk. Having the option to feed Max donor milk instead of formula meant the world to me. My baby would exclusively breastfeed – just with a little more help.” ~ Katharina Y., mom of NICU baby, Max.
