Re: Mirena Awareness is Shutting Down

The reason I chose to make this decision was because for some reason, there was a lot of skepticism from people when Mirena Awareness was asking for donations. This shocked me since so many people claimed to "support" the mission of Mirena Awareness. I clearly explained what the donations would be used for(pay for an official website, market it more globally to reach more women, grow the organiztion, etc), but depsite this information many just turned their heads. It almost felt like a slap in the face, especially since I put so much time and effort to get the message out to women and did so much research, and even had some other people helping out with that. I wanted to help prevent other women from being a victim of this IUD, like myself and so many others. It was a tough decision, but I felt that I had no other choice. Without support and with people's scrutiny, Mirena Awareness cannot go much further. I am glad that the site has been useful to you though. I'm glad it at least achieved that goal.
