Because her son Truett was born with a congenital heart defect that made him unable to breast feed, Danielle Palmer, 31, has been faced with an overabundance of breast milk. But according to a Facebook post from Palmer, she recently came up with a solution for all the milk she's been storing in her freezer — donate it to families in Houston who've been affected by Hurricane Harvey.According to TODAY, Palmer was pumping milk for three months while Truett was unable to eat and storing it in the freezer. As Truett underwent surgeries, Palmer continued pumping and storing. Knowing Palmer had a surplus of milk and had donated it locally in Missouri before, Truett's speech therapist Nicole Edwin reportedly approached Palmer about donating milk to families in Houston who had lost pumps and stashes of milk amidst Hurricane Harvey. "The least I can do is give back to someone in need," Palmer told TODAY."I can’t imagine being in a situation where you’re losing everything and just the fear of all of that," Palmer told News 4 St. Louis in a recent Skype interview "All I could do was sit and pray for the moms and dads and kids. Beauty can come from this. It won’t be bad forever." Altogether, Palmer donated a whopping 1,040 ounces of breast milk that was delivered to Texas in a cooler. Figuring a baby typically gets about three ounces, Palmer estimates that's enough milk for 346 feedings. She's hoping to see the milk go to families who lost their supply or are simply unable to produce their own given the stressful situation they're in. Palmer told News 4 she's grateful to be able to donate breast milk, despite Truett's heart health issues. "It’s given us the opportunity to do other things, I mean had we not been in this situation, we wouldn’t be able to share some of our love with the babies in Houston," she said.
