Dear friends of Valo,

As Mental Health Awareness Month comes to a close, I want to thank all who have donated in recent weeks to support our youth. We have almost reached our goal, and I’m writing today to ask those who haven’t yet given to consider a gift (of any size!) to help us get there!

As I reflect on our work, I keep coming back to something simple yet critically important: young people need to know they matter.

At Valo, time and again we see how powerful it can be when teens have a space to step away from the noise, connect deeply, and care for their wellbeing together.
These moments of belonging and connection matter deeply for their mental health.

Before May ends, please consider a gift to support the wellbeing of our youth. Your donation will help Valo continue to create spaces where teens can thrive.

With much gratitude and hope,

Dana
