donation of breast prosthesis
Hello,
now I have had my reconstruction I no longer need my falsie. I think I have heard of an organisation that collects these(I also have large bras that I no longer fit)and sends them overseas to disadvantaged women.
Does anyone know about this?
thanks,
Julia

Thanks Kristen,
that site is just what I wanted. There is even a drop off point in my suburb. Nice to do something good with what we no longer need.
I also have some great condition large cup size bras from before cancer as well as the ones with the mastectomy pocket. As I have gone from a DD to an A/B no use to me anymore!
thanks,
Julia

Thanks for the reminder, mine is sitting in the cupboard and was only use for 8 months. Please let me know where they are being sent so that I can onforward mine.

Hi Girls...after just returning to Aus from 18 months in South East Asia, I know that there must be somewhere that unwanted prosethis would be welcomed with much gratitude.
In Malaysia women receive a "one off" for life, unlike our system of every two years. Perhaps we need to look further afield to a country where they are beyond the reach of women?
Maybe there is already and organisation that collects and passes them on?? Shall start to do some research.

I have TWO, Triangle shaped, size1, Amoena gel prosthesis, that I really do not use anymore.
I wear a padded bra, mostly, and might be able to donate mine also .They are in great condition; as new with cotton covering that is removable to wash, and with supporting box to keep their shape.
