Update: 2023-09-15

Description

Alba is the baby who humanised war for so many Australians. She is the Australian baby born 11 weeks prematurely, days before Russia invaded Ukraine in 2021, fighting for her life in the middle of a war zone.

Alba's Mum, Jess details how donors from all over the world needed to donate blood to keep Alba alive. First in Ukraine and then in London.

This is an episode of two Mums marvelling about overcoming infertility and the immense gratitude we share for the blood donors who have saved and preserved our daughters lives.

There is also a VERY exciting announcement in this episode about the next "chapter" for Milkshakes for Marleigh. Follow us on Instagram for more details: https://www.instagram.com/milkshakes_for_marleigh/?hl=en
