Our programs change lives. Here's how families describe the difference:
We are so grateful for the support and community we've received through NorCalBDF. Having a child with a bleeding disorder can feel daunting but knowing we have resources, information, education, and a shoulder to cry on, has been so beneficial for our family. TH, mother and person with bleeding disorder
Camp Hemotion was one of the most valuable weeks of my son's entire life. For the first time ever, he was not the outcast but part of the NORM! He was surrounded by happiness and success. As well, he had tremendous role models in the counselors and junior counselors. He came home with a new light shining and hope that there is SO much more out in life, that he absolutely can accomplish, hemophilia is something that he HAS not who he IS. He is more than a diagnosis. CO, mother of person with bleeding disorder
Family Camp keeps getting better. My family really enjoyed being outdoors. Perfect learning opportunity and enlightenment. We are deeply grateful to Pedro for his inclusivity and for making the effort to provide communication in Spanish as well. Thank you for your hospitality. TS, mother and person with bleeding disorder
