In response, I have compiled a list of practical ways you can make a difference from your home:

1. Educate Yourself: Knowledge is power! Take the time to learn more about sickle cell disease, its challenges, and how you can support those affected by it. To make things easy for you, at Crescent Kids, we tend to have a fun way of talking (educating you) about Sickle Cell Anemia, so follow CK here.

2. Spread Awareness: I always mention that awareness is never enough. Use your voice and social platforms to raise awareness about sickle cell anaemia. Together, we can break down barriers and reduce stigma. To start with, share this letter and tell others how to Support Sickle Cell Warriors from their home.

3. Support: Consider supporting organisations like Crescent Kids or other reputable charities dedicated to improving the lives of sickle cell warriors and their caregivers through financial contributions and non-financial contributions (donate blood at a blood bank if fit by Doctor, be kind and empathic, offer to take care of your close relative sickle cell warrior(s) in your home whilst the parents take a day off, etc.).

4. Volunteer Virtually: Explore virtual volunteering opportunities, such as assisting with online campaigns or organizing virtual events to raise funds and awareness. Did you know that 99.9% of Crescent Kids Team are volunteering virtually including Ken? (you'd get to meet other team in subsequent newsletters).

5. Advocate for Change: Be a voice for positive change by advocating for better policies and access to healthcare for individuals living with sickle cell disease.

We truly can make a meaningful difference in the lives of sickle cell warriors and their caregivers. Thank you for your unwavering support and for being a beacon of hope in our community.

Also, you can use these tips from anywhere! Did I miss anything? What tip would you give anyone to support Sickle Cell from the comfort of their home?

👋🏾 With Love & everything nice,
