Every adult with ADHD deserves a chance to thrive.
Together, we can make that happen.
For adults with ADHD, support isn’t a luxury—it’s a lifeline. At ADDA, we believe everyone deserves access to the resources, community, and connection they need to thrive, regardless of their financial situation.
That’s why we offer free and discounted memberships to adults with ADHD who can’t afford it.
But we can’t do it without you.
- For just $10, you can provide one month of membership to someone in need.
- For $50, you can cover a month of memberships for 5 people who could use a helping hand.
- For $110, you can cover an entire year of life-changing support.
Your gift will:
- Connect individuals to peer support groups where they’ll find understanding and validation.
- Provide access to resources and strategies for overcoming challenges.
- Build a network of support that fosters hope and growth.

Annette's Story
What life was like before finding ADDA?
Confusing. Frustrating sad all the time Did not feel successful.
My life was confusing and I was very sad! As hard as I tried and as much as I wanted to communicate and interact with other people I could not! I felt alone and afraid and sort of lost. I knew I could do things differently and talk to people but I could not find my voice. Instead of low self-esteem I had NO SELF-ESTEEM!
How ADDA’s resources, peer support, and training helped?
Learned so much about ADHD and me! When I found ADDA I was amazed that these friendly and smart people understood me and talked about things I thought and wondered about all my life but could never find any help or any suggestions of things I could do to help me get organized and feel better about myself! I joined other ADHD groups and learned a lot about ADHD but at ADDA I found things and ideas of things to do that would help Me with My ADHD.
How ADDA has positively Impacted my Life.
ADDA helped me find my VOICE! For the first time in my whole life, I could volunteer to talk, to express and share My thought! From the first day I found ADDA I felt so welcome! I BELONGED and I am accepted!
Where you are now, thriving with ADHD?
Yes. It has been 30 years since my diagnosis I am thrivng! I feel like it is a dream but I am an ADDA Board member! I started as a Volunteer snd I I was welcome and accepted ! I finally belonged!
