Eastern Pennsylvania Bleeding Disorders Foundation

06/02/2026

We're proud to share that the Eastern Pennsylvania Bleeding Disorders Foundation (EPBDF) has received a $50,000 grant from the Foxwynd Foundation, dedicated entirely to financial assistance for individuals and families living with bleeding disorders.

Unexpected medical expenses, travel costs for treatment, insurance challenges, and everyday financial pressures can create significant burdens for those living with a bleeding disorder. This generous support will help ensure that more members of our community have access to the assistance they need, when they need it most.

We're deeply grateful to the Foxwynd Foundation for recognizing these challenges and investing in the well-being of our community.

Together, we're helping individuals and families focus less on financial stress and more on their health, treatment, and quality of life.
