If there's anyone out there with any extra pouches or other supplies that they can help with, I would greatly appreciate it. I have no insurance or job. They will not go unused, I can assure you, and I desperately need the help.

Kindredbox, there was also someone who posted a few days ago that she was giving away supplies that she no longer needed. Go back and look.

I’m usually not one for “support groups” and loathe whatever the hell they call Facebook these days.
This site has literally been a lifesaver because of its members, part support group, part dad jokes, part story telling, mostly friendship and if people don’t agree they just keep it to themselves. I honestly reminds me of the old days and just plain old polite society, it helps me more than I can explain. Thank you to everyone that allows me to engage with them and to all the members that help other members!

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.

What kind of ostomy do you have? I have some single pouches, and I have some other ones that I would like to donate that I think are better suited to those with a colostomy. I have an ileostomy. I don't have the premium membership, so I don't know if you do. If you have that, you can message me. I have Securi-T 7238214 Ostomy System Standard Wafer. It has a clipping system, not a Velcro system at the end, so I don't know if that works for you.

If you can round up a few bucks, Ostogroup in Florida sells cheap to those without insurance. Also, if you're in the United States, try and apply for Medicaid.
