It is very important for women with
endometriosis to educate themselves and to talk with other women about the disease.
However, due to the debilitating nature of endometriosis, we are very aware that some
women simply cannot afford the membership fee, either because they are unable to work
because of endometriosis, or because they are left with mounting medical bills.
The Association has a small revolving
gift membership program for women who are financially unable to join our
Association. We give you a gift membership for 1 or 2 years, with a verbal agreement
that you repay the fund in a specified time. At the end of the agreed-upon-time, we
ask that the gift membership be repaid so that we can extend it to another woman.
Before you apply for a gift membership
please consider that sometimes our friends and family want to help us with our struggles
with endometriosis, but are at a loss to do so. Maybe they would like to provide you
with a membership to the Association, or buy literature about endometriosis for you?
Never be afraid to ask for help. If your closest friends or family were in a similar
situation, wouldn't you help them?
For more information about a gift
membership, please write to: support@endometriosisassn.org
