Helping Hands Program – Limited Reopening
The Helping Hands program is now open on a limited basis for 2026. Due to funding constraints, a maximum of 20 requests will be approved each month. Once monthly funds are depleted, the application portal will close and reopen on the 1st of the following month.
How it works:
- Applications must be submitted through an online, two-part process.
- A health care professional from an HTC or a Member Organization Executive Director/designated staff member must complete part of the application along with the community member.
- Applicants who are approved will receive a $250 prepaid Visa card that will be emailed directly to the email address that is provided.
Eligibility Requirements
- Must have an HFA-supported bleeding disorder (this list is provided in English and Spanish) or be a caregiver of an immediate family member who has a bleeding disorder.
- Assistance is limited to once a year per household.
- HFA cannot cover any medical expenses including medical bills, dental bills, insurance premiums, co-payments, deductibles, medications, factor, etc. We do not cover subscription services, gym memberships, or legal bills.
Referrals to this program are exclusively executed and submitted by Member Organizations and HTC health care professionals. For any questions, you can:
- Contact your local Hemophilia Treatment Center (HTC),
- Contact your local Member Organization, or
- Email our Helping Hands team.
Important Notes:
- We know this is a reduction from previous funding levels. Unfortunately, not every request can be fulfilled under current limitations.
We remain committed to supporting the bleeding disorders community. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
