            <p>A Missouri mother who was unable to breastfeed her son is now donating over 1,000 ounces of her breast milk to help Harvey victims.</p>
<p><a href="http://people.com/bodies/breast-milk-donation-hurricane-harvey/">Danielle Palmer’s</a> third son, Truett, was born with a congenial heart defect and was unable to breastfeed, instead getting his nutrients from an IV.</p>
<div class="td-a-rec td-a-rec-id-content_inlineleft  td_uid_2_5a893a4406808_rand td_block_template_1"><div id='tpd-box-ad-c'>   
    <script type='text/javascript'>
googletag.cmd.push( function() {
googletag.display( 'tpd-box-ad-c' );
} );
</script></div></div><p>“The first month of [Truett’s] life, he was unable to eat,” Palmer, 31, <a href="https://www.today.com/parents/mom-donates-over-1-000-ounces-breast-milk-hurricane-harvey-t115902" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">told <em>Today</em></a>. “All the milk I was pumping was going into the freezer.”</p>
<p>Truett ended up having eight surgeries, and Palmer continued to pump and save her breast milk, even donating some of it to another local mother.</p>
<p>&#8212; <strong><a class="row-title" href="http://thegrio.com/2017/09/05/siri-saves-sick-girl-from-harvey-floodwaters/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Siri saves sick girl from Harvey floodwaters</a> &#8212; </strong></p>

<p>In all, she had about 346 feedings&#8217; worth, in her estimation, and her son’s speech therapist, Nicole Edwin, suggested that she could donate what she had to help mothers affected by Hurricane Harvey.</p>
<p>“We’re very blessed and very grateful that we have an opportunity to share, and to use this to bring beauty to what we’ve had to go through,” she told <a href="http://www.9news.com/features/missouri-mom-donates-breast-milk-to-families-in-houston/470852065" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">St. Louis’ <em>9News</em></a>.</p>
<p>Edwin drove all of the formula down to Texas to donate it, and Palmer said that she was <a href="https://www.today.com/parents/mom-donates-over-1-000-ounces-breast-milk-hurricane-harvey-t115902">&#8220;overjoyed&#8221; </a>to be able to help.</p>
<p>“I know there’s mothers who want to be able to feed their babies breast milk who can’t, and it’s better than it getting tossed out,” Palmer said. “If I could help alleviate some stress from some moms, than my job has been done.”</p>
