Resources

ADAO was founded by two individuals whose lives were forever interrupted by the unexpected news that their loved ones were diagnosed with asbestos disease. Our international community of individuals, families, and friends continues to grow into the tens of thousands. The voice of victims is strong as we work together to influence better treatment options and an eventual asbestos ban, share critical resources, and provide much needed support to each other.

Connections

The right connections can have profound impacts on lives, giving people the chance to easily share important medical information, discuss their personal stories, and forge lasting friendships that are sometimes the most needed treatment of all.

Share Your Story

Your story matters. If you or a loved one has been affected by asbestos, please tell us about your experiences and read stories of others like you. You are not alone.  “Share Your Story” today. Read the  “Share Your Story” collection of  published stories.
