Debbie de la Riva is the Ambassador Program Coordinator at Save One Life. She has a son with hemophilia and has been an active member of the bleeding disorders community for over 30 years. She previously served as Executive Director of the Lone Star Bleeding Disorders Foundation and has participated on several national committees.

Debbie is also a licensed professional counselor and is regarded as a community expert on the mental health aspects of living with a bleeding disorder. She first connected with Save One Life by sponsoring three children and has witnessed firsthand the positive impact the organization has had on their lives.

Debbie believes deeply in the mission and capabilities of Save One Life and has seen the transformation that occurs when someone feels seen, heard, and valued.

Her goal is to raise awareness about the challenges faced by children living with bleeding disorders in under-resourced countries and to create opportunities for individuals in the United States to make a meaningful difference in their lives.
