At her home in San Jose, Terry Asquith reflects on her achievement of founding Mothers' Milk Bank 50 years ago, which has helped thousands of at-risk babies.
In 1974, a pediatrician's urgent call for human milk prompted Asquith to mobilize community support, resulting in 30 women donating their milk the following day.
Laura Maxson, a former donor, recalls Asquith's unwavering determination to ensure that every drop of milk was used effectively to save infants' lives.
Mothers' Milk Bank, now a licensed operation in its own building, supplied 1.2 million pounds of human milk to various states through a network of partners.
