I am looking for an address where one can share extra and unused supplies. I recently switched pouches and I have some extra. I can mail them unopened and brand new.I don't want to send them to an individial ,I would prefer to send them to a health organization that will decide who needs it the most. Thank you.

I want to thank everyone for their suggestions, messages, and tips! So many have helped! We are learning as we go, learning the ins and outs of this bag. I have ordered special tape that does not irritate my skin and am now using Domeboro powder before putting on a new bag. My boyfriend says that my skin is so much less red!
Saw an ostomy nurse today; she said my boyfriend is doing everything right. One of my issues is that I am really thin, and my skin is really crinkly due to the surgery. We shall see how this bag goes.
This site is a real blessing. Everyone here is so awesome!
