Imagine living your life, knowing that benign and cancerous tumours will be inevitable and may cause dangerous problems, but not knowing when or where. VHL is a rare genetic disease and life-long battle for patients and their family members.
Your gift will help us provide vital support. For example:
- $10 per month helps us with website and email domain and hosting costs
- $20 per month helps us cover web-statistics and office software
- $50 (can double in value as a gift card) to help a family with the burden associated with many medical appointments and treatments (parking, travel, prosthetic, groceries, etc)
- $100 per month covers 1 year of the support program by internet or phone
