Joining is much more than just paying dues. It gives our association more weight in medical, administrative, and institutional bodies. The more members we have, the stronger our voice becomes—with healthcare professionals, funders, and public authorities.

As a member, you participate in the association's decisions and help shape our priorities. You have a voice. You matter.

Your membership is tax deductible at a rate of 66% for individuals, 60% for companies.

Funding research, producing information tools, organizing events, translating medical resources — all of this has a cost.

Your donation, whatever its amount, is precious and makes what we are building together a reality.

Would you like to support us in another way, by contributing your skills? That's an equally essential contribution.

Examples of skills we need:

• Graphic design and visual communication

• Writing and translation

• Legal and administrative

• Medical and paramedical

• Computer science and web development

• Accounting and management of associations

The association is recognized as being of general interest: your donations entitle you to a tax reduction of 66% for individuals, 60% for companies.

The families of Vaillants are scattered across the country — and many know this loneliness. Volunteering is also a way to break this isolation: to be together, to share, to feel less alone in the face of a demanding daily life.

You don't need a lot of time. An hour a week, a specific skill, being present at an event—everything counts. Volunteering takes a thousand forms:

• Support and listening to families

• Managing online networks and communities

• Organizing events and meetings

• Administrative support and communication

• Helping hands of all kinds

You don't need to be affected by the syndrome to get involved. You just need the desire.
