HM4HB (aka human milk for human babies)

I'm not sure how many of y'all (yes, I'm from the south, I use y'all) have heard of the Facebook page HM4HB, better known as Human Milk for Human Babies. It's a page where women from all over the United States can post if they are in search of breast milk, or can post saying they have breast milk to donate. If you search on Facebook for it, they have a page for pretty much every state. When I had my youngest and I was having so many issues with formula for her, I posted on this page begging for breast milk, and you know what? Complete and total strangers were willing to help me out. Now there is a new mother who is expecting her little girl any week now, and she has the unfortunate problem where her body can not produce breast milk at all (you can read more about it here), and the woman who had built up an amazing stash for her had a very unfortunate event occur: her freezer where all the milk was being stored was somehow unplugged, and all the milk spoiled. Now this mother is in desperate need of breast milk for her daughter. If you, or anyone you know, might be able to help this woman out, please email her and let her know. Maybe if we had more people in this world willing to help out, thing's might not be so crappy. <3
