During the awareness walk I had discussions with several people about their urinary diversion and discovered that they do not know about a government grant.
I have received this grant since my surgery due to the thoughtful nurse at St. Joseph’s Hamilton. It is $600 per year – broken into 2 payments of $300. Incontinence products are not cheap and most benefit packages do not cover them.
Here is the link to the forms:

I am not sure if this is a link from the BCC Website – if not, maybe it could be added.
Thanks for the continuous support of all BCC volunteers. You are improving the lives of so many people today and for the future!
