Join Our Community
You don’t have to go through Sickle Cell alone. Join a support group, make connections and get help.
Connect with other people who are living with Sickle Cell or supporting a loved one who is living with the illness. Share experiences and get advice. It can be helpful just talking to other people who are going through the same situation.
