Vote for the Milk Bank: Round 2
The Mother’s Milk Bank of New England, which I posted about last week, is a finalist in a contest to win $10,000 for startup funds through Ideablob.
The Mothers’ Milk Bank of New England is a newly formed non-profit milk bank serving babies, hospitals, and families throughout New England. The Milk Bank will provide screened and pasteurized breastmilk to premature and critically ill babies, primarily in neonatal intensive care units. This milk will be donated by volunteer mothers in our region. For sick and premature babies, breastmilk can mean the difference between life and death, and a short or long hospital stay. Studies have shown that premature babies who receive banked milk are far less likely to suffer life-threatening complications and have much faster recovery rates.
Please go to the site and vote for this worthwhile cause. It requires registration, but it’s quick and painless and mother’s milk can save lives.
