In Need of Ostomy Supplies - Unemployed and Uninsured

This topic is about someone who is currently facing a tough situation. They are unemployed, without health insurance, and have run out of ostomy bags. They are reaching out to the community for help or any donated supplies.

Here are some helpful suggestions and insights shared by others:

1. Community members are asking for more details, like the stoma size and whether a one-piece or two-piece system is needed, to see if they have any extra supplies that match. One person has offered one-piece, pre-cut 1" bags and rings.

2. Someone pointed the originator to a recent donation post by "NewLeaf" and shared a direct link to it: https://www.meetanostomate.org/discussion-forum/viewtopic.php?t=14204.

3. It's recommended to contact ostomy product manufacturers, as many have patient-assistance programs that might provide free or discounted supplies.

4. Another suggestion is to visit ostomy211.org, which is a resource that helps distribute ostomy products to people in financial need.

5. A reply mentions that in Australia, ostomy supplies are provided free of charge (except for a small annual subscription fee) under government support.
