First of all, this is a wonderful idea.  Any lactation support she could
get would be very helpful.  But, your post reminds me that I was just
recently told that the breast bank local to me is low on supply as well.
Although I would love to help this woman, who certainly has her hands
full...and then some, it just isn't feasible.  What I will do instead, is
donate to my OWN needy bank, and help some other children also in need,
though not so 'newsworthy'.

How can we get Mothers to donate EBM for these 7 babies? I really want to
do all I can to promote/assist with these children getting breastmilk, but
don't know what I can do from so far away!  Can we send a letter of support
to the babies' Mom and Dad, along with names for area LCs and /ot area Moms
willing to donate milk??
