Every member of the bleeding disorders community has a story, and Farah Pavri’s is one that highlights the powerful role siblings play in shaping care, compassion, and connection. Over time, she transformed what once felt like being “just a sibling” into a deep sense of purpose. Today, Farah is using her voice to support others, encourage young people in the community, and give back in meaningful ways, including being a Save One Life Ambassador! 

Farah Pavri is proof positive that when a family member has a bleeding disorder, the whole family is affected. She remembers the distress she felt while watching her brother endure prolonged bleeds resulting from hemophilia and inhibitors. She also remembers what it was like to feel included in the community yet also have a sense that she might not be as important because she was “just a sibling.”

However, over time, Farah realized that she mattered too and had something valuable to offer. In fact, she wants to encourage young people in this community to embrace the idea that you are never too young to help; a family value that was instilled in her at a very young age. She has distinct memories of watching her mother gather unused factor and send it to Save One Life. Her mother explained that there are thousands of children in their home country, India, who suffer tremendously because there is an inadequate supply of medication.

When Farah got older, she began to understand that her brother’s journey with hemophilia and inhibitors in an under-resourced country would result in permanent damage or worse. It is for this reason and others that Farah answered the call to serve as an ambassador to Save One Life. Welcome to the Save One Life team, Farah! We are grateful for all your efforts to bring hope and healing to others.
