Giving you back
your tomorrow
Highway of Hope helps patients with rare diseases find resources, assistance, and support.
When diagnosed with a rare disease, the first feeling most people have is that of overwhelming, all-consuming loneliness.
There are so many emotions, so many questions.
- What can I expect from this disease?
- What does this mean for my future?
- Will I ever lead a normal life?
And there are just so, so many things you need to navigate.
- How do I find the right doctor?
- Should I go for a second opinion?
- What treatment options are available?
Highway of Hope was created to mitigate some of the despair, the overwhelm, the loneliness.
If you have a rare disease, we are your middleman.

Real people, real stories
“HOH showed us that they truly care and understand”
My introduction to HOH was very unique in that I met Yehuda, the founder, shortly before passing out as a result of a Dysautonomia episode at an RDLA conference. Though we had met no more than 1 hour before, he met me at the hospital, stayed by my side and helped advocate for my medical needs at a time when I was unable to do so. HOH showed us that they truly care and understand the unique circumstances of those in the rare community.
“Highway of Hope brings a unique approach to people braving rare diseases”
Highway of Hope brings a unique approach and perspective to people braving rare diseases.Their organization empowers those living with rare conditions to become leaders — to break free of a disabled mindset and use their experiences to teach others.
“Highway of Hope is an absolute force for patient advocacy”
Highway of Hope — and specifically it’s founder Yehuda Gelman — is an absolute force for patient advocacy. HOH recognizes that patients are more than their illnesses and strives to help them achieve as much ‘normalcy’ as possible. HOH also creates connections between patients and always uplifts and empowers patients like myself to become their own best advocates.
