I wish I would have seen this the other day. I've been holed up in a depressive state and refusing the Internet!
My ds is tube fed and when he was younger, we had to evacuate for hurricane ike and we ran out of supplies. I too was on WIC and that's who was providing his formula. I couldn't buy it anywhere. His medical equipment suppliers had evacuated as well. I went to the hospital. They gave me his formula and some medical supplies and put me in touch with a local supplier who gave me some emergency tanks of oxygen as ds was also on oxygen 24/7.
So, that would be my advice would be for her to take the child to the hospital if she has to next month and explain her very serious situation. Hopefully they will help.Comment

Yes, that would be the last resort. Every time she goes there she catches something horrible. Last time they gave her an infection in her picc line and it took four separate admissions, 12 weeks, 3 additional weeks of if antibiotics, an IJ central line, daily shots twice a day.... And even more well leave to the imagination.
Going into any place like that is a last resort. But certainly better than starving. For sure! But yes, it's an option.Comment

C2C maybe this would help? They are looking for stories of what this shutdown is doing to the children we care for.

NAEYC CHILDREN’S CHAMPIONS
OCTOBER 7, 2013
Federal Funding ALERT!
We are now in day 7 of the federal government shutdown.
We know that many early childhood providers and other services that children and families receive have had funding cuts from sequestration, and now have the added blow of cuts to programs or furloughs of important governmental staff as a result of the federal government shutdown. Twenty-three Head Start programs did not receive their new grant on October 1 because new/renewed grant funds cannot be processed during a shutdown. One state has furloughed 150 child care licensing staff. Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) and WIC funds to states should last through October. It is overdue to have a responsible resolution of the appropriations for the current fiscal year for the entire government, to ensure our national and global economic security with a clean debt ceiling vote, and to help children and families have access to early childhood, nutrition, health and other important services that help them and our nation thrive.
Please read the statement NAEYC put out this afternoon – Whole Child, Whole Budget – on the need to move forward with a real budget, using real appropriations bills and the right investments. The proposed approach in the House of Representatives to fund one program at a time for a few months is not workable. Effective governing requires a stable, well-invested federal budget, including early childhood education, child nutrition, health and other services that help all of America prosper.
When does it get better? There needs to be a decision to move forward with the funding for this fiscal year. There needs to be a clean vote to raise the debt limit (as has been done in the past) so that the country can pay its bills.
ACTION NEEDED!
Stay tuned over the next 24 hours for an alert with information on how to reach members of Congress this week.
Tweet using #justvote. Here are some samples (remember no more than 140 characters).
Children and families deserve a federal budget that invests in them on behalf of all of us.
Don't delay any longer. Pass the funding bills, invest in children now.
Whole budget is needed to support the whole child and family.
