Start with a conversation.
You do not need a diagnosis, a referral or a reason. If sickle cell is in your life in any way, you belong here.
Join the WhatsApp community
This is where most of what we do actually happens. Questions get answered, crises get talked through at two in the morning, and people who thought they were the only one find out they are not.
House rules: no selling, no miracle cures, no diagnosing each other. What is said in the group stays in the group. Anyone can leave at any time.
Reach us directly
If you would rather speak privately, or you are asking on behalf of someone else.
Message us on WhatsApp and ask for a private conversation, and one of us will get back to you. If you would rather speak on the phone, say so and we will call.
If this is an emergency
We are a community, not a medical service, and nobody here is on call. If someone is in a severe crisis, has a fever, is struggling to breathe, or has sudden weakness or confusion, go to the nearest health facility now rather than waiting for a reply here.
