I'm not sure why you are implying that I said this is incorrect. You are using <em>bring</em> to indicate a movement toward yourself. Thank you for your comments, Leah.

“Can you bring me the supplies to my house?”
This is correct. I’m not sure why you are implying that I said this is incorrect. You are using bring to indicate a movement toward yourself.
