Where to find help financially buying depends?

My mom had her pituitary gland removed which in return causes her to urinate more. The other day she changed her depend and a hour later it was full and had to change it again. She is low income. She goes through a pack of depends daily. There is no way we can afford this. It is all to do with her not having a pituitary gland. Any info. On getting free depends would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Can she toilet more frequently to reduce the use of her depends?
Is she taking advantage of all programs for low income seniors? Even if unrelated to her need for this product, it may free up money to use for this purpose. Some food pantries have these products and distribute them to those who need them. (Though clearly not enough to serve her needs). Energy programs? Food stamps/SNAP.

If it is strictly urine then pads, even the large overnight ones, are generally much cheaper than pullups.
