My
grandniece, Charlotte Rose suffered a traumatic brain injury at 11 months
old. Her miraculous recovery involved the use of pasteurized, banked
breastmilk for 6 months.

We started a non-profit and raised 20,000 dollars to buy
banked milk. http://charlottesmiraclemilk.wordpress.com/http://wwmdwhatwouldmariado.blogspot.com/2013/01/sharing-miracle_19.html
Since June, Charlotte
has been fed with donated milk from the mothers in my lactation center. To date
these selfless mothers have donated 2,500 oz of their miracle milk – our goal
is 4,000 as we plan to feed her until she is at least 2 years old. Charlotte received the milk via cup and GT tube
during the night and for naps- 22 oz/day.

Below is the email I sent to our milk donors when I shipped our first box of CMM!
Dear CMM Pumping Brigade!
I was overwhelmed with gratitude this morning
when I looked at my large freezer full of breastmilk for Charlotte. Brought to
tears by your generosity and kindness, I packed our first box of miracle milk -
155 oz! So far we have collected 836
oz!!!
There are no words to "express" what
this will mean to the life of our little girl, Charlotte Rose. I have attached a recent picture of her (now
16 mo) exactly 6 months from the date of her injury-
Her astonishing recovery could never
have happened without human breastmilk.
I so appreciate that there is much more than
milk in the bags and bottles that you drop off- its liquid love, dedication,
commitment.......that's what makes it and you so special <3
Thanks for helping to heal Charlotte as well
as me:)
