Review from Guidestar

The VHL Family Alliance has taken on and provided support with the most crucial elements surrounding the VHL disease and how it affects the patients, their families, friends, and doctors. The Alliance has been instrumental in getting the word out to the general public about this less common disease and with that, garnering interest and support. We are so grateful for all of its continued efforts!

Our son was diagnosed with VHL this year, and the doctors at Johns Hopkins referred us to the VHL Family Alliance. I have been very impressed at how responsive, compassionate, and effective this group is. They operate on a shoestring budget, and use every dollar they receive to fund research on better diagnosis, treatment, and a cure for VHL. In addition, they are a lifeline to individuals and families coming to terms with this rare genetic disorder.

VHLFA has been such an awesome resource of support both emotionally and practically! When local doctors wanted to remove my son's adrenal glands, they were there to explain to me why that was not a good course of treatment for someone with VHL. I have also met others with similiar health issues, who have been amazing examples of strength. I value the people involved with VHLFA - it is good to know you don't have to walk this road alone!
