Donate Breast Milk. There are orphans, as well as premature and sick babies, around the globe whose lives are in great peril due to lack of nutrition. Many of these babies are children of mothers with HIV. One of the greatest gifts a healthy nursing mother can do is to share her breast milk with these malnourished babies. For many – it is the difference between life and death.
