Introduction

Welcome to C.A.R.E.

Continence Aide Resource Exchange!

Introduction

I am Robert Sullivan, a fierce advocate for special needs, and dedicated to making a difference any way I can! If anyone could benefit from receiving diapers in youth, teenage or adult sizes, and is either low income and incontinent but otherwise non disabled, or has special needs or is caretaker of someone with special needs, please contact me directly at digdndyspecialneeds@gmail.com . Please provide your name, name of individual receiving services if different than your own, address including zip code, telephone number, available size information (waist, weight, or pant size), style of product preferred (pull-ups or tabbed style diapers), brand and type of product currently used (if known) and approximate number of used/needed per day. All information is necessary to serve you and will be kept strictly confidential. Name address will only be given to companies providing products along with phone number or email, and only name and address will be given to material donors. No other personally identifying information is ever released without explicit consent. We currently operate in the United States, but have the vision to expand globally when the opportunity arises. Anyone with special needs or a caretaker of special needs is eligible automatically, regardless of income. This is because we know that having special needs involves Multiple costs in addition to diapers, and am more than happy to assist in easing the burden. I myself am incontinent and deal with it daily to a heavy degree so I know personally how important it is to have quality products to live fuller lives .I will absolutely not distribute products that I myself would not use. Please contact us if you have any questions as well!

What We Offer, and Why This Project is Necessary

It is estimated that 30 million Americans of all ages are incontinent, many suffering in silence, and the large majority with chronic hard-to-treat incontinence using absorbent products to manage their incontinence. The mainstream and well known manufactures of absorbent products such as Depend, Attends, Tena, store brand diapers (examples include Assurance at Walmart, Certianty at Walgreens, etc), while certianly well known and avialable at every store, the quality of these products and availability of all styles and brands varies greatly. Many with severe or total incontience are managing with products found in stores, but in cases of moderate to severe incontinence, these may not be adequate. Thankfully, there is good news! The incontinence market in Europe is very different in the United States. The various elements of the two markets would be a long protracted discussion. In an nutshell, in Europe the demand for high quality very absorbent long lasting products means that the youth and adult diapers manufactured there and imported to the United States is of the highest quality. European brands are well known within the incontinence community to have quality products that while thicker, are very high quality. Some may be able to manage just fine with store bought brands just like some are ok with driving a Buick or Ford versus Lamborghini, Mercedes-Benz, or Ferrari. What I want to do is offer folks the Italian sports car versions of youth teen and adult diapers/pullups. We are talking brands like Abena, Molicare, Confidry 24/7, Tena, Seni, ID Slip, Tranquility and Absorbency Plus. Never heard of these brands? I'm not surprised. You can find them all here: https://www.xpmedical.com XP Medical is a company founded by an incontinent individual who knows his stuff. It's personal to him. He only offers quality. Though he has moved on to other things, the company has continued his vision. Hopefully now you have a better understanding.

Donations

We absolutely will accept any donations of diapers of any size, pull up or tabbed style. Some may not be adequate for recipients and may need greatear numbers to meet need. All recipient requests and donor inquiries will be treated with the strictest confidentiality. No one will know but me that you are seeking this service, and no one will know you inquired about donations. Some may not be comfortable about talking about donating diapers, or want to remain anonymous. Unfortunately at this time, since we are just starting, we do not have 501(c)3 status with the IRS, but definitely plan to take steps to do so. Therefore, immediate financial donations are accepted, but are NOT tax deductible. If that affects your willingness to donate financially, that is totally understandable. I am more than happy to answer any questions potential donors may have and provide data short of personally identifiable information, so that potential donors may understand the scope of our mission and the need for these diapers in their local area. Thank you again!

Note: The name of the organization is C.A.R.E., but we are using the preexisting name DIGNDY Diapers Given to the Needy because it seems unnecessary to start another GoFundMe page. The GoFundMe page has the current name on the campaign, only the URL cannot be changed. Any offense caused by the URL is not intentional, and I apologize in advance.
