Former preemie and Youth Ambassador Reese turned his compassion into action by leading a school-wide drive to collect breast milk storage bags for NICU families. After learning that these bags are essential for safely storing pumped milk yet often not covered by insurance, Reese wanted to help remove a real barrier many parents face.

With the support of his classmates, he raised awareness about the importance of breastmilk for NICU babies and gathered much-needed supplies for families who might otherwise struggle to afford them.
Reese’s project ensured that more NICU parents can continue providing their babies with the nutrition they need during a critical time, and it inspired his school community to rally behind a meaningful cause.
