Milk Bank asks for donations for premature babies Vitória Alves Pellegrini, aged 20, died after suffering a cardiac arrest and undergoing an emergency birth in Araguaína, in the north of Tocantins. The young woman was in the same vehicle that overturned and caused the death of her partner, Thor Mariano da Silva, 21 years old. The couple's son was born prematurely, but in stable condition, and the family is campaigning for breast milk donations. The pregnant woman was undergoing surgery on her femur after being injured in the accident, when she suffered cardiac arrest and had to undergo a cesarean section. She was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) on August 11th. The death was confirmed by his aunt, Eliete Santana, on the night of the 13th. "The child was born weighing 800 grams. The milk campaign is to supply the stock, which is almost at zero, and he cannot drink formula. Breast milk is important at this stage", informs the aunt. The baby was named Athos. He was born at six months and two weeks of gestation and is admitted to the Neonatal ICU. Breastfeeding mothers who have excess milk can donate at any time. To do this, simply contact the Dom Orione Maternity Human Milk Bank.
