Jill Youse’s breast milk project is taking off.
The 28-year-old Columbia woman packed up a second shipment of 100 to 200 pounds of breast milk this morning that will go to a group in South Africa that takes in HIV/AIDS orphans.
Youse, a sales representative for a pharmaceutical company, was in the news last month for donating 1,000 ounces of her own breast milk to iThemba Lethu, a not-for-profit organization in Durban, South Africa. Soon thereafter, she was contacted by 10 other women around the country who wished to put their extra breast milk to good use as well.
Youse said she initially didn’t want to breast-feed her daughter Estella when the baby was born nine months ago but changed her mind. She since has started the International Breast Milk Project to make use of the extra milk she produces and stores in her freezer.
