A symbol of hope for women with POI.

Send a letter to US Congress

Please join our letter writing campaign to Congress. Its fast and easy since we have a template letter you can use. With your help we can collectively spark Primary Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) (a.k.a Premature Ovarian Failure) legislation to increase public awareness and allocate research funds for better treatments and find a cure. Elected officials don’t know much about POI, but with your help we can change that.

Here’s how to use our sample letter to write Congress to educate them about POI and tell them your story as a POI Patient. Even if you are not personally affected by POI, you can also write to Congress and support women with POI:

  1. Find the name and addresses of your senators and representatives by entering your zip code here. Please send an individual letter to both your senators and all your district’s representatives.
  2. Add your address and your recipient’s address in the space provided and if necessary change the letter to reflect your personal story in the places indicated.
  3. Print your letter out, sign it and mail it!
    **Note: If you prefer, you can send your letters online via your senator’s and representative’s Web sites. Web addresses are available here. You can also have your letters hand delivered for a fee here.

Your letters will make a difference. We have already gained support of Senator Edward Kennedy. Read his inspiring letter of support and hope here.
