PUERTO RICO RELIEF

As you know, and have seen in the news, the damage caused by the hurricane in Puerto Rico has been catastrophic. NHF has been in communication with leadership from the local Hemophilia Treatment Center and Region II regarding their direct needs.  While the immediate need today is access to care and medicine, and Region II, HRSA, ATHN, Hemophilia Alliance, NHF and others are working on those needs, we know that in the near future financial assistance will be crucial.  
 
NHF is working with the hemophilia treatment center in Puerto Rico to coordinate aid to people with bleeding disorders. NHF is collecting funds which will be donated directly to help the bleeding disorders community and HTC in Puerto Rico.

NHF is acutely aware of the suffering of the all the US citizens of Puerto Rico. If you would like to help in the recovery efforts, there are many organizations who are working to rebuild.
