đź’™ Meet Milk Donor Jessica and baby Crawford đź’™

Jessica donates her milk because she knows firsthand how powerful it can be for vulnerable babies. With every donation, she’s helping provide lifesaving nutrition to infants who need it most, simply because she can and because it matters.

Donors like Jessica and Crawford are the heart of our mission. We are endlessly grateful for their generosity and compassion.

“I had more milk than my baby needed, and I felt called to share it with premature and newborn babies so they could receive the antibodies and strength they need to grow.”
