This topic is about someone who has recently found out that their colostomy will be permanent and they will need more surgeries. They are also dealing with liver disease, GERD, and other gastrointestinal issues. Unfortunately, they have been denied Medicaid and Social Security disability benefits, and while they are appealing with a lawyer's help, they currently have no income or insurance. This has made it difficult for them to afford the necessary ostomy supplies. They are reaching out for prayers and any help in obtaining specific supplies.

Here are some pieces of advice and helpful insights shared by others:

1. Many people have offered their prayers and emotional support, encouraging faith, positivity, and finding joy in small things to help maintain a healthier mindset.

2. It is suggested to apply to KindredBox, a charitable organization that provides ostomy supplies to those in financial need. You can apply at their website: https://www.kindredbox.org/apply.

3. Another tip is to contact ostomy supply manufacturers and distributors directly to request free samples. Their customer service representatives might also know about emergency assistance programs or charities that can help with supply needs.
