You could donate it to a local crisis pregnancy center. Or let local LLL 
Leaders know. Sometimes women can not afford a better pump and it would be 
better than an Evenflow.

I had three moms try this pump. The first two had used Ameda Elites or 
Purely Yours and HATED the Playtex. The third one had used an Elite and  PY 
for her birthed babies and was relactating or inducing lactation (depends on 
how you look at it -- she weaned about 4 months before adopting) for an 
adoptive baby. She could not get a let down going on the Elite or the PY but 
would get twice as much out of the Playtex using the low suction because the 
higher levels hurt. So I gave her mine (she is low income). Another Lactnet 
poster said she suggested it to someone trying to induce lactation and it 
worked for her when other pumps did not.

If you have a local WIC IBCLC, she might want it. Or a local pump dealer or 
IBCLC who will work with low income people (some will not do grant funds or 
refer to WIC but some will help poor women).
