Having a premature baby in the NICU for 2 months had to throw everything off but always great when reason someone gets care. Formula alone ridiculous not to mention medical bills and Trump making ACA plans so unaffordable people cut insurance. Since you're in Meridian, I'd call The Idaho Foodbank as they are feeding America and may have formula or referrals and see https://idahofoodbank.org/) as they can tell you what pantries nearby have baby formula or other baby items.

Since you already went without power for a couple days, don't wait on WIC. Also ask your baby's pediatrician or the hospital where your baby was treated if they have any formula they can give you or know of local programs, as a lot of NICUs keep samples or know where families with premature babies can get help.

My name is Cristian Belen Jimenez and I live in Meridian, Idaho. I have been out of work since last April 2026. I had a premature baby in the hospital for 2 months. I have a 16-yr old son and a 5-yr old son. My baby has 3 weeks of been born and formula so expensive I can’t make due buying formula and I know WIC takes time to apply. I stayed without power or food two days ago. Can you please direct me to where I can find help with paying my bills and getting food and baby formula for my children and baby.
