Hi, I just want to say how pleased I am to have this community to care and share with. It is my grandson who is living with sickle cell, he is about to turn 3 years old and i just want to be able to offer the best care and support to him that I can.

Hello, I too am pleased to see this site and hoping that it can progress. My baby was diagnosed with sickle cell 2 weeks after birth last year and I have found it difficult to understand as a parent. I want to be able to educate my daughter when she is old enough to understand, I want to understand more myself.

I am so pleased that people are now talking openly about sickle cell disease.. Many people not just African Americans have this dreaded illness.It has affected my family and my life.. I get so depressed sometimes. I feel like I am being punished for something.Then I pray to God for strength and guidance and I feel better!
