Dear Members of the SAA Fellowship:

Sexual addiction destroys lives and families. It destroys dreams and continues to keep many living in darkness. Most of us would still be lost if we had not found the fellowship of SAA.

Most estimates are that 3 to 5 percent of the population meets the criteria for sexual addiction. The current estimated combined population of the United States and Canada is 385,000,000. Even using the more conservative 3% estimate, that equates to 11,550,000 suffering sex addicts just in North America.

As a member of SAA, you have an opportunity to change the world – one life at a time. Have you experienced the gift of recovery through SAA? If you could, would you share the gift of freedom with a person still struggling?

The ISO needs your support to help us serve a growing fellowship. None of us can do it alone, but working together, we can have an enormous positive impact on this serious problem.

We need more and improved resources to attract the addict who still suffers. An urgent priority is the redesign of our website –especially the meeting search page. We need to expand the number of groups that reach out to professionals through mailings, presentations, or attending professional conferences. There is also a critical need for additional prison writers.

All of these vital activities need your support. We simply do not have the funds to implement or expand many of these plans and projects.

By responding to this appeal, you will help the ISO to support initiatives that can change the lives of many sex addicts. Please consider giving what you can. For many, your gift will be a gift of life.

The ISO wishes to express its gratitude for the many donations and hours of service you and other members have provided during 2024 and in previous years!

We ask for your financial contributions today to help us expand our reach to many, many more. Please be generous with your gifts.

Please donate today and help us reach our goal of $22,000!

Executive Director, ISO of SAA
On behalf of the ISO Board of Trustees
