Greetings Sickle Cell Family,

The Holidays are a special time of Joy. Snow, Family Meals and Laughter. For most this is true. For some, this is the time of remembering those who have gone on before. Wherever you find yourself this Holiday Season, know that we, the Sickle Cell Community are here for you. Please reach out to others, share your feelings, joys and pain with them. We understand where you are. Be mindful of those around you who are struggling with depression and loneliness, reach out, call, text, email or set an extra plate at your table and extend yourself to someone else.

Give and it shall be given unto you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
