The above photos are of some products I have and are not using. Even before COVID, I have tried to donate these items. They have not been exposed in any way to COVID. If there is anything anyone can use, please let me know via the web page. I will check every day. I will pay priority USPS shipping and Lysol all items before shipping. I just can't bring myself to throw away when someone might be in need. I still have my colostomy. However, I saw a new surgeon that says he can reverse it. I so hope so.
Thank you,
Mary Doak

If I was a relative newbie with an ostomy, I have no doubt that this site would be very helpful to me. The members are quick to respond to questions and issues and they are filled with experience. When I joined, I already had a lifetime with an ostomy, so I just regard it as a place to meet and communicate with other folks similarly situated. Either way, it is a good site.

A convex ostomy skin barrier can help prevent output leakage and skin issues. Unfortunately, some misconceptions about convexity may keep people with ostomies from using it.

Mary,
You are a very kind person to be thinking of others. I hope someone who can use these products will see your post. Best of luck on your reversal; I hope it goes perfectly for you.

Hang on to them! There are so many people on here that need free supplies. I have sent to many but it is sometimes hard to find those in need. Either they won't ask for help or are shy about it! They do pop up though. I am always looking to help those in need as well! I do post when I find someone.

Am I understanding that you sent unused products to the above address?
Thank you.

Yes, unused so that people who had no insurance or were not working could get supplies at no cost. Nbsp

Living with an ostomy doesn’t mean you have to live with stoma fluid leakage or skin irritation.

Please, no loose items. Package any loose items in a zip lock with item code numbers. Liquid items are too heavy for them to ship. No precut items for health reasons.

It is evident that the nonprofits are maxed out in the need of supplies. In the past two years, I have never known any Ostomate here that was able to obtain any supplies from one of these places. They should get more supplies from the respective makers for this. I know my Ostomy nurse would not accept any supplies because she had more than she could ever use and nowhere to store any additional supplies.
