I got my feeding tube removed last week. I still have 8 and a half cases of 8oz cans as well as a box (one month) of individually sealed drip pole bags.

The formula is Pivot 1.5 made by Abbott. It's an odd formula and I had to have it shipped across the country for me. It's going to be a rare need but if someone is on this feed I'd be happy to arrange giving this to you. This stuff is $200+ a case so I hate for it to go to waste.

If you are interested just message me back.

How generous! If you cant find anyone to take the formula, you can contact The Oley Foundation. They run an equipment/supply exchange for patients. Oley will match donors with needy patients who will send a money order to cover the cost of shipping. All you would need to do is wait for their call then take the supplies to the post office to ship. Ive used them, it works great!

**** Anyone who would like to take advantage of Kelly's kindness, please send your personal contact info thru a PM.

I listed the formula with the Oley people, thanks for that link. The offer still stands here too.

Just to close this thread I managed to get rid of everything. The formula, pole and assorted equipment went to another cancer patient less than an hour away from me (best of luck girl!) and I got rid of the bags too.

Please guys if you have extra stuff consider trying to find it a home. We are in this together and when we help each other we all gain.
