Nevada Chapter National Hemophilia Foundation

At the Nevada Chapter of the National Hemophilia Foundation, we support our local community and want ALL of our families to have opportunities to reach their potential.

We support people affected by bleeding disorders from birth to adulthood - helping them reach a productive, pain-free and independent adulthood. Through youth programs such as Camp Independent Firefly, coping and thriving resources delivered through our women's, men's, and couple's programs, as well as our ongoing advocacy, emergency financial assistance, and education - we are working every day to help people find their best quality of care and quality of life possible. 

With your donation for a #BrightFuture, we can make that happen…together!

In 2018, your donations helped us:

-Provide over 40 education events for parents and professionals with more than 800 attendees.

- Send 80 kids to Camp Independent Firefly, a nurturing and educational medically supervised camping experience for children with bleeding disorders, and their siblings. 

- Give over $10,000 in financial assistance to over 20 families and the year is not over! 

Living with a bleeding disorder -- an early and sometimes shocking diagnosis, with frequent and demanding treatment, and the likelihood of complications -- can alter the experience of childhood and through adulthood.

Hemophilia is a genetic bleeding disorder that prevents the blood from clotting normally. The main symptom is uncontrolled, often spontaneous bleeding. Internal bleeding into the joints can result in pain, swelling and, if left untreated, can cause permanent damage. Managing complicated medical treatments, facing time out of work to recover or care for a child with a bleeding disorder, and ongoing medical fees can become overwhelming for those living with bleeding disorders.
