Due to one thing or another, I have ended up with a dozen or so cannulas which I have no need for and cannot use. The supplier cannot take them back.

My thought is to donate these to an organization which provides help to the poor, for distribution to those who use them but are hard pressed to afford them. Bonus if they concentrate on helping Veterans. That’s the easy part.

The hard part so far is coming up with names and contact info on such organizations.

There is a veterans hospital in San Antonio.




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

cannulas

I suspect for such an inexpensive item the cost of moving it around will prohibit it ever getting to a final point of use, and any local organization won't be able to use/accept something that doesn't come by way of a medical supplier.

Very thoughtful, but unless you've got a friend who needs them you may be stuck resorting to the most unusual karma items ever.....

my good friend recently graduated from nursing school in NC and she had to pay for all kinds of crazy stuff
