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!!!

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.

Hi Hatlady and all,
I've had my ostomy for over 50 years, since I was a kid, and didn't think I really needed to be part of the ostomy site. But once active, I came to realize, that although I may not need help at the time, I was able to reach out and help others in need. Back in the day, before stoma therapists, I use to visit new patients in the hospital or homes ... While professionals are great, it is also good to be able to speak with people with personal experience. I was a free member for awhile, but after writing often, I was given free months. I then started paying, and decided to just take lifetime membership. After all, I was going to have my ostomy for the rest of my life. I'm one of those people who can disappear for a few months at a time, but I'm always glad that the site is here, I can return and reconnect with old friends, and make new ones. This is an excellent site ... Best regards to all ... and Best wishes for a Healthy and Happy New Year.

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

In addition to your pouching system, you may require the use of an ostomy accessory to enhance the performance of your system.

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