Review for DES Action USA, New York, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

DES Action continues to be an amazing little organization. I am consistently astounded what the staff does and the quality of the information provided to the DES community on their small budget.

This organization has been a life-saver for so many affected by DES. They consistently make DES issues a focus of research and it seems that each push results in more findings and the need to keep digging.

Review for DES Action USA, New York, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

DES Action USA was my saving grace when I found it 13 years ago. Suffering health issues from the effects of my pre-natal exposure to DES they provided the information I had been seeking for years. They are the ONLY organization that serves the DES (diethlystilbestrol) exposed community. They provide support, accurate and un-emotional information about our continued health risks in The VOICE newsletter, doctor lists culled from other exposed individuals, attorney lists and have remained connected to the research community to ensure the DES exposed are not forgotten or overlooked. The organization is as frugal as one could ever imagine. They do so much with a tiny budget - it is truly amazing! DES Action is the only organization that I donate to who's information and communications I read in full every time I get something. It has been a lifeline for my health and my mother's health over the years because of their dedication to continued research and providing accurate information. Our family is so thankful for this organization, which was started on someone's kitchen table in 1978!
