What is Gifts for M.E.
Gifts for M.E. is a charity to provide useful items to ME/CFS patients in the United States. When launched in 2026, ME/CFS patients or their caretakers in the United States will be able to register to be considered for available gifts.
Planned items include: black-out sleep masks (such as Manta Pro), noise-cancelling headphones, grocery delivery subscriptions, shower chairs, heart rate monitors, lower-stimulation gaming devices, and more.
Selected applicants will receive their items at no cost, with shipping and coordination handled by our fiscal sponsor, the MECFS Clinic of MN.
