Touching Facebook call
Alex Green, a single parent from the US, turns to young mothers with a desperate request on Facebook, the reactions are incredible!
Alex Green is a desperate, single father. His wife died about four months ago in a tragic car accident. "I'm raising our eight-month-old son alone now, " he writes in his heartrending appeal on Facebook. "Brody's mother died when he was only four months old, she wanted to breastfeed him until he was at least one year old, I can give my son everything, but I can not breastfeed him." To fulfill his wife's last wish, he has been searching for mothers who donate breast milk for his little son.
Alex and Brody live in a small town in the US state of Oregon, but Alex had no luck there so far. Now he has expanded his search and turned to women in Oregon's largest city, Portland. And with his appeal, the young father has met with much understanding among the approximately 11, 000 members of the Facebook group "Portland Mamas". Meanwhile, so many milk donations have been received that Alex can easily feed the little Brody up to his first year of age with mother's milk.
His gratefulness can barely put Alex in words: "I'm not the hero in this story, the women who donated their milk are, I'm just a normal guy trying to be a good father to his son receive much more respect and attention, because after all, they not only sacrifice their milk, but also their precious time. "
The helpfulness of the people goes even further. Alex's mother-in-law has set up a donation account for him and her grandson to help them financially. Meanwhile, already about $ 10, 000 have been received.
