A Note From Trans Recovery Supply During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Like much of the world, Trans Recovery Supply was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in ways no one could have anticipated. Supply chains were disrupted, essential items became difficult to source, and many people faced sudden uncertainty during an already challenging time.

Some supplies commonly included in recovery kits — such as alcohol prep pads, gloves, and hand sanitizer — became temporarily unavailable due to increased demand for essential and emergency use. While other recovery supplies remained available, we encouraged those preparing for surgery to check local retailers for any items that were experiencing shortages at the time.

Our priority during this period was to remain transparent, flexible, and responsive, while continuing to support our community as best we could.

Gratitude for Those Who Showed Up

We want to acknowledge and thank the many people who helped keep others safe, supported, and cared for during an incredibly difficult period.

This includes healthcare workers, first responders, essential workers, delivery drivers, volunteers, mutual aid organizers, and countless individuals who stepped up in ways both visible and unseen. Their efforts made a real difference in people’s lives.

Holding Space for Loss and Uncertainty

We also recognize the profound losses many experienced during the pandemic — the loss of loved ones, livelihoods, routines, and a sense of stability.

For those navigating recovery, postponed procedures, or isolation during this time, the added uncertainty could feel especially heavy. We hold space for that reality and extend care to everyone affected in different ways.

The pandemic reminded us how quickly circumstances can change — and how essential compassion, patience, and community are during moments of collective challenge.

Moving Forward With Care

As we continue forward, Trans Recovery Supply remains committed to supporting recovery in ways that prioritize dignity, preparation, and emotional wellbeing. That commitment doesn’t change during times of disruption — if anything, it becomes more important.

We encourage everyone to take care of themselves and the people around them, and to seek out support when it’s needed.

With care,

Trans Recovery Supply
