Penpals for women with endometriosis

Hope it's ok to share this here... I've recently set up a penpal group for women with endometriosis.

I first started penpalling while I was going through diagnosis and surgery and I've since realised it's a great hobby if you suffer from endometriosis. You're building up a connection with someone but without having to commit to specific dates and times- something that can be really tricky when you don't know how well you'll be feeling. And you can write a letter while resting/ using a heat pad/ drinking a nice cup of tea.

You can sign up on Elfster: elfster.com/gift-exchanges/...

Or @endo_penpals on Instagram.

Your name and address are kept secure on Elfster and are only shared with your penpal. You should get two matches- someone you write to first, and someone who writes to you first. If you'd like more information or you have any questions, just message me :-)

That’s such a wonderful idea. One of the things that’s difficult is feeling that you’re on your own.

Yes, sure. You can sign up on Elfster if you'd like a penpal- elfster.com/gift-exchanges/...

You'll be emailed the name and address of someone to write to. Someone else will be sent your name and address and they'll write to you first- so, you should end up with two penpals. Just let me know if you have any questions 😊

UPDATE- A couple of people have messaged me to ask if this is still open for sign ups.... You can still join on Elfster. There isn't any deadline to sign up by- I'm just sorting out matches as people join. 💌
