Welcome to the Home page of the LadyBugs Foundation!

 

Nope, we aren't about those cute little red and black bugs, we do empowerment and educational programs for Women with Bleeding Disorders (WwBDs).

 

But did you know that the ladybug, the Asian beetle that now lives extensively in the U.S., when it's stressed does something called... "reflex bleeding" from its leg joints? It does that to deter a predator.  And since WwBDs sometimes bleed into our leg joints, we thought that coincidence was enough to justify our name!

 

Also, in many cultures, the ladybug is considered a symbol of luck and good fortune. Things we help encourage through our programs for and about WWBDs!

 

Thanks for visiting us, and please come back soon!
