Our Group has a small collection of used breast prosthesis, padded forms and bras. Does anyone know of a contact so we can send these items on to someone less fortunate. I tried the McGrath Nurse in Darwin but she advised Aboriginal women don't wear bras and obviously have no need for a prosthesis.
I welcome any feedback!

What a wonderful idea try Project Uplift.
I know this organisation collects bras.. not sure if they are interested in 'other stuff' but it is worth contacting them and asking. Their web address is http://www.upliftbras.org/
According to their web site
"Currently NSW is collecting for the Phillipines.
Vic. is collecting for Fiji and Solomon Islands, Vic. also collects ANY fabric nappies."Good luck and let us know how you go.
Yeah, I have been wondering about this type of thing too. I have scarves and caps that I no longer need and also have many beautiful "normal" bras from my pre BC days that I can not wear any more(left mastectomy)and wondered if there is a bra charity out there?

Heather, I have been trying to find the group that sends them overseas. Please let me know if you find them.
Thanks Annie
