Mothers' Milk Bank of North Texas Kicks Off
2014 Fall Giving Campaign
Looking for a creative gift this holiday season? Honor a loved one this year through a donation to Mothers' Milk Bank of North Texas. Funds raised will ensure that eligible premature and critically ill infants will receive life saving pasteurized human donor milk, regardless of the family’s ability to pay. Donations are tax-deductible. See our donor form and giving campaign newsletter by clicking here.
The fall giving campaign, launched last week, gives contributors the options of making one-time gifts and holiday gift donations to family and friends. Holiday gift donations must be received by Monday, December 15. Holiday gift greeting cards will be sent to recipients between Monday, December 15 and Friday, December 19.
Ryan, a donor milk recipient
“This fundraising campaign is a great opportunity for the local community to support the life saving work we have done here for ten years, “ says Amy Vickers, Executive Director. She adds, “Because 1 in 8 babies is born prematurely in the United States, it is crucial we continue to raise the funds needed to save these fragile, little lives.”
Ryan, pictured above, has thrived on donor milk. Born with a hypoxic brain injury that has resulted in many medical challenges, Ryan is gaining weight, rolling over, holding his head up and interacting with his parents and 14 siblings. To read more about Ryan, click here.
