My mom was a member of this group and she recently passed. We'd like to donate her excess supplies to someone that could use them, preferably in B.C. I can provide an inventory list of supplies for anyone interested. Best regards, SMC.

For those of you still looking for love after your ostomy... don't give up! One day, when you least expect it, there will be a message in your inbox... always remember that when you're not looking, life has a brilliant way of surprising you with someone in your life you have so much in common with, and either you make a great new friend or you will find the person you were always looking for! I, for one, thank God I found this website... I was in a low place when I first started, and now I've never been happier! ~Traci~

I'm sorry for your loss.
There are a few places out there to donate products. Here's a couple.

I have an ileostomy and can make use of a two-piece system 1 3/4" to 2 1/4" flange and large pouches. I prefer those without tape borders and use the strips instead. That being said, I don't have health coverage for my supplies, so beggars can't be choosers :). If you don't find anyone in B.C., I'm in Canada at least but in Ontario. spinbot at Gmail dot com

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