Nadya ‘Octomom’ Suleman turns to WIC
Octomom told the local newspaper that she is considering turning to federal assistance to feed her 14 children. The WIC, which stands for Women, Infants and Children program, provides children under the age of five and their mothers with food and health care. This facility is for low- income mothers and they will be ineligible if the income is more than $ 112,480 per year.
She said that her main priority were the children and she was going to do everything it takes to keep them healthy and well fed, and not worry about what people think about her taking public assistance.
This program will feed her family, including her Octuplets and 6 other children who are under the age of 8. They will receive baby formula, cereal, milk, eggs, cheese, bread, peanut butter, tuna, dry beans, fruits, vegetables and juice. Nadya, 33 said that the baby formula alone came up to $ 2000 per month. She gave birth to the octuplets on January 26 at the Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center. They are the longest surviving octuplets.
She’s always said that she will figure something out when asked how she will take care of the kids. Maybe she should have put a little more thought about having 14 kids, like 6 weren’t enough. And her priorities are clearly not in place. When it is hard enough to provide for the kids, why did she install a Jacuzzi? She says that somehow she knew everything would work out. Well she’s just 33 she will grow up.
