Help with supplies to make stoma bag covers

Donation protected
Hi.  My name is Aleesha, I'm 26 years old. In 2015 I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, one of the main forms of inflammatory bowel disease. From 2015 to 2018 I had been admitted to hospital three times, the latest resulted in an emergency ileostomy. To help me cope with having an ileostomy I started to make bag covers for myself. But since I have started to make covers for others to help them too. I do not charge/profit from this. I just simply want to help others who have an ostomy bag. However the cost of the fabric and supplies needed to do this soon adds up. That's why I'm reaching out to see if any kind people would donate to help me buy the materials needed so I can help more people. I'm a single mother to a 5 year old, so spare money is hard to come by. I don't want to have to charge people for supplies in order for me to help them.  I've even had a lady in the US ask me to help her but unfortunately the cost of posting etc is too much for me to cover. Thankyou for taking time to read this. If you or someone you know would like a ostomy cover, please email [email redacted], or search for BerryCovers on Facebook. I'll see what I can do to help. As I've not been doing this for long I haven't built up a great bag template collection. It's not exactly one size fits all. So if I've not made a cover for the bag type you need then I'll need you to post a spare bag to me. This way will help me build a collection of templates.
