About Us

We are guided by a creed of compassion, we are built for humanity. Our focus is prioritizing health and humanity.

Who We Are

The Sacred Life Sickle Cell Foundation (SLSCF) is a purpose-driven organization committed to improving the lives of individuals and families affected by Sickle Cell Disorder (SCD).

What You Should Know

Founded on compassion, community, and commitment to change, we exist to break the silence around Sickle Cell, challenge stigma, and promote inclusion, empowerment, and access to quality healthcare for all. SLSCF is not just an awareness platform; it is a movement of hope, action, and transformation. We believe that every life is sacred, every story matters, and every voice deserves to be heard. Through advocacy, education, and sustainable community initiatives, we are creating a future where living with Sickle Cell does not mean living with limitation.

Our History

Established in 2023, the Sacred Life Sickle Cell Foundation emerged from a deep, personal understanding of the burdens of SCD. Our founder, survivors, and dedicated medical professionals identified critical gaps in access to care, medication, and psychological support. Our journey began with the singular goal of building the comprehensive support structure necessary to transform the chronic management of SCD into a pathway for a full life. We have since grown into a formidable national voice for advocacy, research, and patient empowerment.
