2010 Haiti Supply Drive
The Haiti supply drive in 2010 was a huge success. You all really came together to donate your unused ostomy supplies to the people of Haiti. This project had way more success than we’ve ever dreamed. You donated almost 11,000 medical supplies, most of them ostomy-related! We received tons of ostomy bags, flanges, urostomy supplies, stoma pastes, odor eliminators, barrier rings, and everything else needed to maintain an ostomy. The estimated retail value of these supplies exceeded $37,000!

Hi Nadia,
I just had my takedown surgery and would love to donate the supplies I didn’t end up using. I just wanted to make sure you were still accepting donations before I ship them out to you.
Just send me a quick email and I’ll get them right out to you.
Thanks,
Eric

Hi, I had my stoma Eric created late may 2010. I have loads of products left over from samples etc, I am now using a 2 piece convex system and have loads of bags that I will no longer use.
I would love to donate them to a good cause but am still out of work and have no money to be able to ship them to the USA! Do you know of anywhere in the UK that will take them?
Well done on all the good work so far! Im looking forward to more videos! x Jojo x

My friend just passed away, and I have so much colostomy supplies, I have the address, the boxes aren’t sealed but they have not been contaminated at all. Am I good to send to the address above? I just can’t bring myself to throw them away when I know someone else can get use out of them. Please let me know if it’s okay to send them.
Thank you,
Cheryl
Cheryl, I am so sorry about your friend, and I appreciate your thoughtfulness in donating in their memory. You can send the supplies to the address above and we will gladly accept anything that is unused. Bless your heart for thinking of us, and I will watch for your package. ~Nadia
I had my take-down in 2009 and have some supplies. As soon as I am able to get them somewhat sorted and boxed up, I will gladly provide this greatly needed assistance to someone who may NOT have been as fortunate. What you are doing is a wonderful thing. Living with both UC and PSC has opened my eyes to see a different and unexpected view of the world. Now that I have found your blog, I will definitely try to check back a least once a week. Thank you for what you are doing.
Why do these bits of plastic cost so much? $3.69 for a glorified ziplock baggy is obscene.
I’m not sure why they cost so much. Partially I’m sure because they are medical supplies, and since insurance often covers part of the cost, they figure they can charge a little more. Second, the quality control in the manufacturing process is probably higher than with Ziploc bags: they come sterile, the adhesive has to be good on the flanges, and the pouches have to be durable and free from error. That extra quality comes with a price. These are just my guesses.

We have a bunch of supplies that are no longer needed. I will box them up and ship, if you are still accepting donations. None of it has been used.
Yes, We are still taking donations. This is an ongoing donation drive. You can send the unused supplies to the address above (in the blog). If you can ship them soon, they will be going out to developing countries by the end of February. Thank you so much!! ~Nadia
I mail a package of ostomy supples to the address list on your Web site on 2/19/2012. UPS is having a hard time delivering these supplies and wants more information. I hope these supplies get to you soon, it would mean alot to our family that others can use them. I’m unable to figure out why UPS needs more informtion pr what info thay need.
Holly, I received your package yesterday. Did the UPS accept it from you? It was quite a big box, but I did receive it. Thank you so much! I am handing them over on Tuesday to send to developing countries. ~Nadia
