This holiday season, as we pause to reflect on the progress made this year and the incredible people who have touched our community, my heart is filled with gratitude. The facial pain community — YOU are at the heart of everything we do. Your generosity makes our mission to serve people living with neuropathic facial pain possible. 

We recently shared the inspiring story of Jackie Galgey, a person living with facial pain, who used her voice not only to advocate for the facial pain community, but to give back in an extraordinary way. Earlier this year, she appeared on NBC’s Password and made a heartfelt promise before millions of viewers – to donate a portion of her winnings to the Facial Pain Association. 

Before she even knew the outcome, Jackie was already thinking of others. When she won, she kept that promise, turning her personal experience into an opportunity to inspire and support everyone living with facial pain.

If you missed it during Facial Pain Awareness Month, we invite you to watch Jackie’s story in our webinar, Thriving Through the Pain: Finding Hope and Strength with Trigeminal Neuralgia. Her message of resilience and generosity is one we can all carry forward into the new year. Watch the recording here.

As this year comes to a close, we know that you have many options for your year-end giving. Your gift not only sustains our mission but propels our outreach forward, providing much needed hope to the facial pain community. Additionally, many companies will match employee donations, which can double or even triple the impact of your gift. It’s not too late to ask your HR representative or click the button below to see if your employer participates. 

There is still time to make a tax-deductible donation to the Facial Pain Association in 2024. Will you make a gift today?
