We created this non-profit to become a catalyst for change. The battle against sickle cell anemia is many times fought in solitude, for our son and for others like him who will one day lead this fight. We will carve the path towards new ideas, holistic wellness, clinical solutions, and genetic awareness together.
Most of all we want to encourage sickle cell warriors, you are not a mistake, God loves you and sent you into this world exactly as you were meant to be. Your challenges have shaped you into champions, and we are all blessed to be able to witness you making your mark.
We are here to be a part of your tribe.
