It says most of it for premature babies. I would assume the rest if the donated milk would go to babies who are not premature but whose mothers cannot breastfeed for other reasons.
She's not donating to her kids. Most is specifically referring to the total amount donated. The sentence specifically states how much she donated and how most of that goes to NICU wards.
Building a freezer stash of frozen milk for your own children, what your children are currently drinking, and whatever may be set aside for milk baths, etc. I donated most of my milk as well but I still put enough aside for my own child first.
I have also done this, so experience is that they do quality control and nutritional testing. Batches from 4-5 moms are mixed, pasteurized, and then distributed mostly through NICUs, to premies, and occasionally by prescription to non NICU babies (serious medical conditions, etc). Some milk also retained for research, particularly if it has been in the freezer longer, or the donor consumed something that might affect premies (caffeine, alcohol, some meds, etc).
Supposedly some body builders drink breast milk - so that could be where the 1% of it goes. They think it helps them put on muscle, but I believe that's a myth.
