Kindred Box Support/Aid

Get involved by donating ostomy supplies.
Stoma Heroes has teamed up with Kindred Box, a charitable organization in the United States, to help ostomates in America who need ostomy supplies. To support their efforts, we will be collecting donations and sending supplies to Kindred Box throughout the year.
Why do people in America need help with ostomy supplies?
Unlike the UK where health care and ostomy supplies are free of charge, most people in the USA pay out-of-pocket for health insurance. If they cannot afford insurance, then ostomy supplies must be paid out-of-pocket. This expense can add up to hundreds of dollars each month, sometimes thousands. But even when ostomates have insurance, sometimes ostomy supplies are not covered, or the amount allowed is very low.
Thankfully there are many people just like you, with excess supplies who want to donate. Here is how you can help fellow ostomates who need our support.
How to donate ostomy supplies:
We accept all types (colostomy, ileostomy, urostomy) of pouching systems (adult or pediatric) that are new and not expired;
• 1-piece pouches
• 2-piece skin barriers (wafer/flange)
• 2-piece pouches (drainable or closed-end)
As well as new/unopened ostomy accessories such as;
• stoma paste
• stoma powder
• barrier rings
• barrier sheets
• barrier strips
• skin barrier wipes
• adhesive remover wipes
• hernia / support belts
• stoma guards
