Instead of gifts, I’m asking you to **support an association**.  
Not just any.

Today, I want to highlight [**Girls & Tech**](https://www.girls-tech.co/our-first-action?ref=endoless.app), founded by [**Gwenaëlle Bailly**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gwenaellebailly/?ref=endoless.app) and [**Elise Dufour**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/elise-dufour-3893755/?ref=endoless.app).

Because this association didn’t just “support a project”.  
It **changed my trajectory**.

Thanks to Girls & Tech, I was able to go to Las Vegas, present **ENDOless**, meet extraordinary people, and — maybe most importantly — confirm something deep inside me:

👉 The choices I made were right.  
👉 What we’re building matters.  
👉 Women *do* belong on those stages.

In France, donations to associations like Girls & Tech are **tax-deductible**, which means your support goes further than you think.  
For me, it will directly help ENDOless cover part of our costs and **keep building a better, fairer healthcare system**.

This year… was hard.

It’s hard to build something meaningful without the right people around you.  
It’s hard to keep going when relationships fall apart.  
It’s hard to divorce.  
It’s hard to hold a vision when everything around you feels unstable.  
It’s hard not to give up — especially when you’re tired, doubting yourself, and still showing up.

**Some thoughts from this year, unfiltered:**

- It was lonely
- It was heavy
- It required more courage than I expected
- And I didn’t quit

If I had to sum it up in one sentence, I’d say:  
**“Not bad.”**

And if donating to an association isn’t possible for you right now, there’s also my [**personal Revolut cagnotte**](https://revolut.me/mont%5Fa?ref=endoless.app).  
Every euro collected there goes **entirely to ENDOless’ concrete needs** — nothing else.

This birthday isn’t about me.  
It’s about **collective momentum**, women supporting women, and choosing the world we want to build.

Thank you for being part of it 🤍

Alexandra
