While Clark had his Broviac (Central Line), we needed supplies for it’s upkeep. This included a number of bandages, biopatch, Heparin, Saline, gloves, caps, masks etc….
Since his Broviac was unexpectedly taken out, I had a FULL box of supplies left! The pharmacy would not take them back, since they can’t re-sell a product that might have been tampered with, or has expired. And I didn’t want to throw out such valuable and expensive materials. Thankfully, I was still able to put them to good use. There are many organizations that take donations of medical supplies. Some are for local non-profit clinics, while other organizations send the supplies overseas to 3rd world countries. I was lucky enough to find a local organization close to us called MedShare. You can read about them here http://medshare.org/
If you have any extra medical supplies that are no longer needed, please consider donating. There are many organizations throughout the country.
