Many people living with bleeding disorders face significant financial challenges due to the high cost of medical care and related expenses. At VHF we understand the importance of providing support beyond medical care. That’s why we offer a Financial Assistance Program designed to help alleviate some of these financial burdens and to improve the quality of life for individuals/families with inherited bleeding disorders by providing financial support, based on availability of funding, to help pay for:
- Expenses incurred in the care, treatment, or prevention of a bleeding disorder such as, transportation to clinic or hospital, medic alert bracelets, and related expenses are a priority.
- Other basic living expenses will be considered on a case-by-case basis and may include dental expenses, assistance with utility expenses, rent, etc.
We believe that everyone deserves access to the resources they need to live a full and active life. Our Financial Assistance Program is just one way we strive to support the Virginia bleeding disorders community.
If you or someone you know could benefit from this program, please visit our website or contact us at info@vahemophilia.org or 804-740-8643 to learn more. To facilitate your request, it is highly recommended that you review your application with the social worker or nurse coordinator at your hemophilia treatment center or other healthcare provider. The treatment center or other healthcare provider can review and forward your application to VHF.
Together, we can make a difference.
Note: Because of the timeline in processing these requests, these funds cannot be considered for urgent requests. Every effort should be made to utilize other community resources such as social services, food banks and other organizations that routinely meet these types of needs. This program is intended to help individuals and families after other sources of assistance have been exhausted or unavailable and for one-time emergency needs. This program is not meant to be used to remedy chronic financial problems.
