When Milk Matters told me that preemies needed just 50ml a day to survive and I was feeding my son breastmilk all day long, I wanted to help and knew I could.
It is such a great privilege and pleasure to be able to give what I can give. It is truly an honour.
Donating breastmilk has been a wonderful experience and I feel that I have made a difference.
