Hi Woody!
You can go onto the Nestle website and search for their
donation programs. There is a form your dietitian or doctor must fill out and fax. Nestle will give the patient a one time delivery of 12 cases of their formula. It is only certain kinds that they give for free. You will pay not one cent for anything, not even shipping! I got 12 cases of Nutren 1.5 last year from them so I know for a fact this program works. Here is the link to Nestle's customer service department. Send them an email asking about their
donation program for liquid nutrition. They will give you the info you need to get some free cases.
Nestle Foods Contact Customer Service Info Next place to go for help is the Oley Foundation's website. They run an exchange program. It matches people that have leftover formula, bags, syringes, etc with those in need. You can email them or call. Check their online list and see if what you need is available. You will be put in contact with people who have the extras. You will need to go get a money order to cover the S&H (usually about $16) to send to the person that has the item. When they get your money order they will send out your product. Make sure you dont wait til the last minute as this can take a 2 week turn around before you get your supplies.
Oley Foundation Equipment/Supplies Exchange As far as the pump goes, that is something very expensive. I pay monthly for this. The darn medical supply company has a rule that after you pay for your equipment for a solid 24 months then it becomes yours to keep with no further charges. Sounds good but there is a catch. Every time your insurance changes the clock resets so I have now had the same pump for 3 years and I will still have 2 more years to go before its paid for. Quite a racket if you ask me. You can check on Amazon or ebay. If you buy from Amazon, PLEASE use the link at the top of the main forum pages so that OCF will get a small kickback.
Hope this info helps.
