Who We Are
MEET VELVET DOVE
My name is Velvet Dove, and I am the founder of the Gladd Foundation, established in 2014. I started this organization to support children in the bleeding disorder community by providing them with the opportunity to attend camps in the US. This cause is deeply personal to me, initially inspired by my father, and now carried on in his memory. My son, nephews, and my late father, all affected by bleeding disorders, have benefited immensely from these camps.
These camps offer not only fun and friendship but also vital medical support, with nursing staff on-site to care for the children. They help kids gain independence and develop skills that will enhance their lives in the future.
I am proud to have shared this experience with many children and am incredibly grateful for the donors whose generosity has made it possible. Your support helps us continue to provide these invaluable experiences for kids who need them most.
Please consider donating to the Gladd Foundation and help us send more children with bleeding disorders to camp. Together, we can make a lasting impact on their lives.
Thank you for your support.
