Is there anyone who can help with ostomy supplies? I'm unemployed and have no insurance, so I literally have no bags. I would be so grateful. God bless you all!!!

What size are you looking for? One piece or two?

NewLeaf has a post here in the last 48 hours looking to give away or donate supplies, I'd reply to that post and see if they can help as well.

What you are going through sounds awful and I hope our little community can help you.

Can you be more specific? I have extra bags and rings but they're one piece and pre-cut 1".

Hi, Queen. If you contact the companies, some have a program set up to help people.

Check with ostomy211.org; they have products for people in similar situations.

You should move to Australia, all our supplies are totally free. We just pay an annual subscription of around 40. The Australian Government has supplied ostomates free for many years.
