As a lead up to Giving Tuesday, RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association is asking people to spread awareness about the disease of infertility and the RESOLVE organization. This month, bloggers around the world are sharing about why they’re thankful for the RESOLVE organization and people who support the infertility community.
Next month on December 2, I’ll be making a donation to RESOLVE on Giving Tuesday. I love the idea of Giving Tuesday. Not only does it provide an excellent answer to the consumer-driven Black Friday and Cyber Monday madness, but it allows bloggers like me to shine the spotlight on worthy organizations like RESOLVE.
I’ll admit that my donation won’t be large. After all, most of my money has been earmarked for our infertility treatments! But if everyone gave just a little bit- even $1 each, we’d make a huge difference! If you’re not sure what RESOLVE does or why you should donate, here’s a reasons why. I’m thankful for RESOLVE because…
…they provide a wealth of information to anyone who needs information about the disease of infertility.
The internet is wonderful because you can find information on almost any topic, but it’s also terrible because so much of it is from unreliable sources. I’m a school librarian by day, and I’m constantly reminding my students to stay away from information that is not credible. RESOLVE’s website has reliable, accurate, trustworthy, and up-to-date information, so it earns a librarian’s thumbs-up!
…they connect men and women suffering from the disease infertility all over the world in the hopes of making the infertility journey a little less lonely.
RESOLVE offers in-person and online support groups. They organize Walks of Hope in multiple locations, and they provide resources for people who are trying to figure out how to support someone they love.
…they raise awareness about the disease of infertility and helps shatter the taboo that surrounds it.
Infertility affects 1 in every 8 couples of childbearing age, yet many people know very little about the disease. RESOLVE offers educational materials and they sponsor numerous advocacy campaigns and events throughout the year. The more people who know about infertility, the more chance we have to raise funds for better treatment!
