'A mother's love holds no boundaries': Mother donates breastmilk in honor of stillborn son
A grieving mother says she found new purpose by donating 16 gallons of breast milk after giving birth to a stillborn son.
Wendy Cruz-Chan of New York was 19 weeks pregnant when suffered a rare uterus infection, causing her to lose Killiam, her baby boy.
"All I have of him are his ashes in his urn," Cruz told Inside Edition. "I can't dress him, I can't play with him. I can't watch him grow. As a mother, it breaks me. It hurts me deeply."
