It's Monday! Thank you Ashley for sharing your abundance with other NICU families!

"My twins, Theo and Maya, spent their first couple weeks in the NICU for what turned out to be a milk protein intolerance. I was pumping breast milk the whole time, and while I was so relieved they were healthy once I started my dairy-free diet, I had no idea what to do with the hundreds of ounces of milk. Once I learned my donation could help another NICU baby in need, I was happy to hand it over!

Thanks for sharing my story and making it possible to help! "-Ashley, Milk Donor

Talking about a mother's choices, without a broader conversation of how those choices are shaped by her circumstances, is simplistic ― and dangerous.
