Prosthesis give away

Does anyone know if and where good external  second hand breast prostheses can be donated? So many women have them stored away in cupboards and wardrobes and they MUST be of use to ladies elsewhere? The bras also- Berlei take them through Myer and specialty lingerie shops to send to 3rd world countries, but to send with the prostheses would be terrific.

I am really hoping someone can assist!

  • My mother-in-law is with veterans affairs so gets a new one quite often.  She gave me her old one to take into Cancer Council.  I ended up throwing it in the bin as the Cancer Council doesn't have a need for them.  Not sure what avenue to send you too.  What about Breastscreen?  I know they were collecting old bras to send to New Guinea (if you wear a bra you are important and it stops a lot of rapes)  Good luck XLeonie

  • try your local breast care nurses, they may have contacts       or know some one that is struggling and needs one,
