HAPPENING HIGHLIGHTS

Support the Work of HFA this
Holiday Season

As we move through this season of giving, we ask that you think of HFA while
making your end-of-year donations. As you know, living with a bleeding
disorder presents a lifelong series of “what if”s. These unknowns can be very
scary for a new parent or a seasoned community member. Bleeding disorders
can bring health issues and frequent trips to the hospital, as well as a battery
of situations forcing families to make tough choices. The good news is that for
more than 25 years, HFA has been a support system to hold up families after a “what if”
becomes a reality. HFA is a comforting resource where families can get answers—answers
that bring relief and stability to a family struggling to adapt to their reality. Our Helping Hands
program was designed specifically to help community members who are experiencing a financial
crisis with basic living expenses.

The financial need in our community is persistent. The coronavirus is relentless. The flow of referrals to our
programs is continuous. This year, we’ve helped hundreds of families in need, but there is so much work left to do.
Helping Hands is there for our families. Now, we need your help. Would you consider making an unrestricted gift to
HFA to help a family with emergency assistance or to purchase a necessary medical item? Please make your secure
gift online at www.hemophiliafed.org/donate or send a check made out to Hemophilia Federation of America to
999 N. Capitol Street NE, Suite 301, Washington, DC 20002. Make a gift that will profoundly change a life.
