A wonderful support for women with vulvodynia—give, if you can.

Please remember the National Vulvodynia Association (NVA) with a donation this holiday season. Our small staff and volunteers work days, nights (and even holidays!) to assist women with vulvodynia. Your donation will help us fund important research on the causes and treatment of vulvodynia.

Today is Giving Tuesday, a global day dedicated to giving back and supporting organizations that have made a difference in your life. This is the perfect day to give to the NVA and make a difference in the lives of women with vulvodynia. You can donate online now at https://www.nva.org/make-a-difference/donate/ or mail a check (made payable to the National Vulvodynia Association) to Tamara Matos, NVA Administrator, PO Box 4491, Silver Spring, MD 20914-4491.

Sincerely,

Phyllis Mate
