Meet Linda Blockus, mother and Director for Undergraduate research at Memorial Union in Columbia, MO. When the Life Sciences Center was being built, Linda asked the planners to include a room for nursing mothers to pump. She became committed to the cause after seeing a student who was also a mother go to the restroom to pump.
Meet Lavlee Mollik and Moira Kelly. Mollik is the biological mother of Trishna and Krishna, conjoined twins from Bangladesh. I've been following the story of these twins all week! They were joined at the head and were separated in a 34 hour surgery! Amazingly both survived and it appears have no brain damage - Praise the Lord! Mollik could no longer afford to care for her daughters so she gave them to an adoption agency. She was overcome with joy upon finding out that her daughters had survived the surgery, but she wants them to continue to be with their guardian Moira Kelly so that they will be able to get a good education and have good medical care. Both of these women sound amazing to me. One has painfully given away her daughters because she knows she can't give them the medical care they need. The other has taken on this huge financial burden of medical care for babies she didn't even know and decided to care and love them.
