Fundraiser for Brooks’ 1st birthday

In honor of our sweet baby boy Brooks’ 1st birthday coming up at the end of the month, Logan and I wanted to do something special in his name. We are raising money for the Mothers’ Milk Bank of North Texas. This organization has a special place in our hearts. After we lost Brooks, I was still producing milk for weeks and had a bunch of my milk stored up at the NICU that Brooks was never able to use.

Even though our instincts were to just get rid of it all out of anger, the thought of dumping or throwing it all away made us sick to our stomachs. We knew we had to find another option. When I found the Mothers Milk Bank I knew immediately that’s where I was supposed to donate my milk. The thought of being able to help other sweet babies in the NICU who needed milk made us feel a connection to Brooks. I donated over a gallon of milk in Brooks’ name and it brought a small bit of positivity into our life during a really dark time.

We would like to make the donation on Brooks’ birthday, November 30th. We are so grateful for all the love and support we have received this year and would be honored if you could help us in making this donation in memory of our son on his birthday.
