If there's anyone out there with any extra pouches or other supplies that they can help with, I would greatly appreciate it. I have no insurance or job. They will not go unused, I can assure you, and I desperately need the help.

Kindredbox, there was also someone who posted a few days ago that she was giving away supplies that she no longer needed. Go back and look.

What do you normally use and/or need?

What kind of ostomy do you have? I have some single pouches, and I have some other ones that I would like to donate that I think are better suited to those with a colostomy. I have an ileostomy. I don't have the premium membership, so I don't know if you do. If you have that, you can message me. I have Securi-T 7238214 Ostomy System Standard Wafer. It has a clipping system, not a Velcro system at the end, so I don't know if that works for you.

If you can round up a few bucks, Ostogroup in Florida sells cheap to those without insurance. Also, if you're in the United States, try and apply for Medicaid.

In about a month, I may have some supplies. I am not quite there yet, reversal surgery is scheduled for March 15th. I was just thinking about this the other day, I will have much left over if all goes as planned.

I know if I were desperate and needed supplies, I'd be checking back to this thread fairly often. 🤷‍♂️
