Hi Meri ostomate have you contacted the suppliers, they might have a program for unemployed that cant pay for supplies.

Medicaid or Medicare?

If your NOT working you should have NO problem with getting on Medicaid to cover your supplies...I still had my insurance  form work while in the hospital and once it got to the point where I should file for Disability my social worker helped me get on it so I'd have supplies when I got home...Just because you may NOT be qualified for SNAP doesn't mean ur NOT qualified for Medicial Assistance...BUT in the mean time reach out to local groups...get free samples from suppliers untill you get what u need....The hospital should beable to help you.

Someone on here in another post mentioned kindred box. The ostogroup in palm beach may help you.  What a horrible experience for you. I get nervous when my stuff is late. I can't even imagine. Apply for medicaid asap!!

I was told by state of Florida I don't qualify for assistance because I don't have any dependents or I'm not taking care of anyone I'm in the process of getting a lawyer

You’re the dependent, trying to take care of yourself.

Ok for some reason my post aren’t showing up.  I found 3 of your kind of bags and barrier; a bunch of foldable rings, 2 boxes of the barrier strips and then 3 packages of the barrier film for you to try.  Send me your address and I’ll mail them to you on Thursday
