Friends with Sickle Cell
Do you have friends with sickle cell?
This is something that I didn’t have growing up, and honestly, I really wanted it.
Experiencing a condition like sickle cell at such a young age is very confusing, and not being able to relate with any of your peers makes the experience harder. I can only imagine that knowing someone who goes through it to makes it easier.
Do you agree/disagree? Did you know anyone with sickle cell growing up?

When I was younger I didn’t see much about sickle cell outside of my friends and family. However, as more awareness is being raised, I am starting to see more information about it. I understand how important it is for a person with sickle cell to have a solid support network. This is something I have seen from experience that really helps and I try to make myself as available to support how and when I can.
What about you @tito-oye how do you find your support network now? Have they helped you or is there any areas you’d like more support in?
