	RESEARCH - WHAT RESEARCH? This website has more than 3,000 visitors a day. Our wish is that every visitor benefits from the knowledge provided to help them make informed decisions about their treatment, because this is the purpose of this free website. But IMAGINE if each user of this website contributed as little as $5 for the information they receive? That would be $15,000 day - and $45,000 a month. $45,000 would pay for a scientist for a year, and if this happened every month we could fund 12 research projects a year to work towards finding a cure for endometriosis. Isn't this what all of us wish for? If you can afford $5 please consider donating today - every little bit counts! 100% of donations go to the World Endometriosis Research Foundation
