Oklahoma Hemophilia Foundation

Description

Programming throughout the state of Oklahoma for families affected with hemophilia and other severe bleeding disorders.

Untreated, it can lead to deterioration of joints or muscles, & can even be life-threatening. There is no cure, but those affected can live relatively normal lives with proper treatment. Treatment can be extremely expensive, costing $100,000 - $300,000 per year and can exceed $1 million per year if complications arise. Our programs include: A 5- day camp for approximately 100 children ages 7-17. Post-secondary educational scholarships.
