The topic is about donating surplus ostomy supplies in the UK, which can be a wonderful way to help those in need. The Life Goes On Foundation is at the heart of this effort, running an "Ostomy Appeal" to collect and redistribute these supplies. Here’s how it works and some additional helpful information:

- The Life Goes On Foundation collects surplus ostomy supplies in the UK and sends them to disadvantaged ostomates and people needing ostomy surgery in developing countries, disaster areas, and to those who do not qualify for government medical schemes.
- Since its launch in 2008, the foundation has shipped large quantities of supplies to countries like Liberia, Cameroon, Romania, and Serbia, with smaller shipments to Indonesia, Pakistan, the USA, and Canada.
- In the UK, the foundation offers additional support such as free RADAR keys for Scottish ostomates, which provide access to over 7,000 disabled toilets nationwide, and free designer pouch covers for Scottish ostomates.
- A new website with a social network and chatroom allows ostomates worldwide to communicate in real time, fostering a supportive community.
- For those in Houston, Texas, looking to donate, options include the United Ostomy Association Houston, Osto Group, and Friends of Ostomates Worldwide. Placing an ad in a local newspaper can also help find recipients.
- The foundation plans to expand with a new solar-powered shed/mini-office to better manage incoming donations.

Additionally, a member in the United States has surplus disposable waterproof bed pads and disposable underwear available for donation and welcomes direct contact for those interested.
