Magical Milk Pic-O-The-Week

So, I get this email from Licia, asking if I accept submissions for my Magical Milk Pic-O-The-Week.

What she doesn't realize is that my answer will be, "Um, for you, Licia, ANYTHING!"

You see, Licia and her sister, Lori, run the "Real Hope For Haiti" Rescue Center. I discovered the RHFH through Jamie, and anxiously await for those two to pop up on my feed reader.

So, first a big thanks to Licia and Lori for such an amazingly personal story. While we were all hanging out in our living rooms last week, the following was happening in Haiti:

Today Lori was seeing some patients and this family came in. The two in the matching green shirts are twins. They are for the lady breast feeding them. Which is amazing in itself for here in Haiti. But the other picture is of her husband. He is holding their grandchild. There daughter had the child and left to go live in the capital. So instead of complaining she is breastfeeding her grandchild as well. So she has three kids, I imagine almost 24/7 that she is nursing. They were fighting and all trying to get some milk.

It's sort of a shame you can't donate a boob. It looks like she needs an extra, and I have a few I'm not even using. Of course, she'd have to put a lot of sunscreen on the one I'd give her.
