Financial Assistance Programs
Since 2004 we have been able to provide short-term financial aid to our hemophilia B community members
BCares Emergency Patient Assistance Fund
BCares — the Coalition for Hemophilia B’s emergency assistance fund — provides urgent help to individuals or families affected by hemophilia B when faced with specific critical needs. These crisis situations include basic living expenses, housing, and utility bills. BCares cannot cover medical bills or co-pays. We can provide support when our members are out of work, either because they or their child is hospitalized for a long period of time.

Factor Nine Holiday Fund
Every year, our Factor Nine Holiday Fund receives financial donations from our members and friends to help families in our hemophilia community who are in need of a little holiday cheer. We provide holiday gifts for children with hemophilia up to age 17, including food baskets, clothes, boots, and more. All gifts given are new.
Thank you to all who have donated to our 2021 holiday fund. Factor Nine Santa wishes everyone a Happy Holidays and a better 2023.
