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. 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.
