After sharing her desperate plea for baby formula for her daughter who suffers from Bainbridge Roper Syndrome, Aguilar was contacted by a woman through Facebook who offered to sell her baby formula for $250. When she sent the woman the money, her Facebook profile then disappeared.
The shutdown of Abbott's baby formula manufacturing facility could have potentially deadly consequences for 9-year-old Walnut Creek boy., she received several messages from people who wanted to help. Among them, a woman who offered to sell her baby formula for $250.
"It's shocking that people would prey on this segment of our population," she said."These are the most vulnerable people we have out there, and our families are already struggling everyday, so it's definitely disheartening." "It's been an absolute nightmare," she said."Until these formulas are back in stock at our supply company and we can receive regular shipments again, we are going to be going through this."
