Need Help Finding Ostomy Supplies While Homeless

This topic is about someone who is experiencing homelessness and is in urgent need of ostomy supplies while living in their car. Here are some helpful suggestions and resources that might assist in this situation:

1. Try contacting the wound-ostomy clinic at a nearby hospital. These clinics often have extra ostomy supplies available for emergency situations and might be able to help.

2. Reach out to local ostomy support groups. These groups can be a great source of donated products and assistance. You can find directories and contact information at:
- uoaa.org, which is the website for the United Ostomy Associations of America.
- tucsonostomysupportgroup.org, which is the website for the Tucson Ostomy Support Group.

3. If you are in Arizona, a community member has offered to provide direct help if you are located nearby.
