In Need of Ostomy Pouches and Supplies

This topic is about someone who urgently needs ostomy pouches and supplies but currently doesn't have insurance or a job. They are reaching out for help and assure that any supplies donated will be put to good use. Here are some helpful suggestions and insights for them:

1. Apply for free or low-cost supplies through Kindred Box by visiting their website at kindredbox.org/apply.

2. Look through previous forum posts, as another member recently mentioned having extra ostomy items available.

3. Clearly specify your type of ostomy and the specific products you use. This will help others match their donations to your needs. For example, one member can donate a Securi-T 7238214 Ostomy System Standard Wafer with a clipping closure.

4. If you can manage a small expense, consider purchasing supplies from Ostogroup in Florida, which offers reduced prices for people without insurance.

5. In the United States, consider applying for Medicaid to get longer-term coverage for ostomy products.

6. A member who is expecting to have reversal surgery on March 15 might have extra supplies available in about a month, so it could be helpful to follow up with them then.

7. Keep an eye on this thread regularly so you can quickly respond to any offers of donations.
