Nice to see they are unused. Friends of Ostomates Worldwide, I am sorry I do not have contact info.

This site was a true lifeline when I first became a member back in 1997. The support I received during the time of a critical time in my life.was greatly needed. I met so many wonderful people that became like family. And fell in love with a wonderful woman from the UK. Visited here and later had her come to me here in the states.

Hi.. whatever you do, don't throw them away.
To be honest, the shipping cost to send those supplies to either Kas or myself might give you pause.
It's unbelievable the price hike of shipping via UPS, USPS, FedEx.
Therefore, if you have a stoma nurse, talk to them. If you know a nurse or doctor locally, you can donate supplies and not spend
a dime. Have a favorite hospital? They should have a wound care department.
When Kas and I get donations, they usually sit past expiration.
We have considered donating our stock to clinics, hospitals, and organizations.
So think about it. People here will offer places to send your supplies to. Your call. 👍

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

You would think there would be a link or click-on thingy here where people could post what they need or what they have to donate.

That's a good idea. It certainly would help and be more efficient. The administrator would have to set this up, no?
I'm clueless on how to.

Yes, they would have to set it up. A separate thing to click on to donate or receive supplies. The easiest would be a simple way to contact those donating or receiving, like a private message but limited to that section only. Or something like that. The only way anyone knows that you and Kas do what you do is by you guys saying you do it on threads. Otherwise, nobody would ever know.
