For Sickle Cell!!

Your blood donation will turn lives around for the better!
 
 

September is National Sickle Cell Awareness Month and it is a great opportunity for citizens and community organizations to collectively raise awareness for sickle cell anemia! However, families and persons diagnosed with sickle cell anemia must live the challenges of this blood disease every day.

Children and adults with sickle cell anemia have sickled-shaped red blood cells that cannot travel smoothly through the blood vessels. The red blood cells become trapped and will cause severe pain crises, stroke, chest syndrome, stroke, organ damage, and it can be fatal. These persons need regular blood transfusions to temporarily replace their sickled red blood cells with healthy, round red blood cells that can travel through the blood vessels to carry oxygen to other cells, tissues, and organs for a healthier quality of life!

A blood donation can help save the lives of 3 persons in critical need of a blood transfusion!
