BUCKS COUNTY, Pa. (WPVI) -- A Bucks County mom has seen an outpouring of support after a shipping mishap involving her breast milk.

Lauren Carroll tells Action News she received donated milk from an acquaintance.

The military mom spent the past week agonizing over trying to feed her hungry seven-month-old son.

Her husband, stationed in North Carolina, tried to ship frozen milk from their home there but it never made it to her in Yardley.
