exporting much needed diesel to europe instead of supplying the u.s., prices are spiking higher. but there are also fewer u.s. diesel refineries after years of closures to make up that difference in supply. right now there s just a global shortage of diesel. it s really tight. reporter: katie child, owner of berkshire energy depot in new haven, connecticut, is responsible for setting the price of diesel here. how does it feel to have to make the price higher every day? you can see the pain in their face when they come in and see the price, and you just you apologize and say, i m sorry, and just there s nothing there s nothing i can do about it. reporter: she s a small business owner who services other small businesses and says the record prices have lost her customers. when prices are high, people shop around more. you save 10 cents down the road, you re going to go there.
being done to help the situation, it doesn t sound like there s an easy solution within the next few weeks, if not months, what s your plan, what happens if you can t get the formula. you know, i don t know at the moment. we re going to have to consider all of our options and some of those options are really bleak. our daughter is on the first percentile of the growth chart. she c she cannot afford to fall any lower. we need to find baby formula that she can take that has the requisite amount of calories, and that is in very short supply right now. even if it comes back, there are costs to transition babies from one formula to the other, and we are terrified about what that could do to a kid who is just barely hanging on from being out of the hospital right now. i m so scared for you, and
our heart goes out to you. i d like to keep in contact to make sure that you get the help that you need and we keep our viewers informed of how they might be able to even help you. is there any message you would like to share with people watching about what they might be able to do? you know, if you have any cans of neosure in your closet, if you re a former parent of your preemie, your kid has transitioned to solids, donate to a food bank. we are fortunate to get our story out there, and people have offered to send us cans, and help is on the way for us. but that is not the case for most parents dealing with this right now. if you can find some, donate it. make sure whatever supply exists right now gets to the people who need it most before they expire. it s just really tragic, and i can t believe we re having to do this right now in 2022. emily and mac janer, thank
