----------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are planning to donate, make sure that you are donating to a legitimate charitable institution. There are many sickle cell charities for children. Some of which you can find on the internet. Check the background of the institution. Use the resources that you know.

Make sure you have all the documents that you need to show them that you are indeed in need of their financial help and deserving of such. Be prepared also that your application may be rejected. Do not take this personally. Just bear in mind that you are not the only person who is trying to get the help of the charitable institution.

They are also supporting many other families, organizations and hospitals for this disease. Connecting with these organizations does not only bring solution to your financial needs when it comes to the disease but also consolation. You also get to meet other families who are faced with the same situation as yours.

One or more people that know may be carrying the disease. It is an abnormality in the hemoglobin. According to medical files, hemoglobin carries oxygen to the different parts of the body through the blood vessels. The normal type of hemoglobin is a type A and this disease, the hemoglobin forms like a crescent.

It is like you are waiting for a death sentence that surely comes but as to when, that remains to be a mystery. Anyone can be snatched by the disease anytime. Members of the organizations are the people who understand more about what you are going through or what your family is subjected to.

Some people can find emotional comforts in the organizations as most of the people who are involved in the organization have one way or another, an encounter of the disease. It is either one of their family had been diagnosed with the disease or someone who are very close to them. It could be their parents, children, spouse or dear friend.

Thus, it is very important to check the background of the charitable institutions. Know that these institutions accept donations in terms of money. The money is used to fund research and development of potential cure of the disease. These organizations also need to register with the government like with the Securities and Exchange Commission and other corresponding offices.

Many people have no knowledge about this disease. The only time they get to know about it is when they are struck by it or when someone from their family get inflicted. Anyone is at risk but the disease is mostly genetic. If anyone from your family has been diagnosed with it, there is a big possibility that it will come up in generations to come.

It would be better that in as early as know you try to trace if someone in the family has been sick with the disease. This is so that everyone can be alerted. Not that you one can ever be ready when the disease strikes but still having the knowledge can spell the difference.
