A Letter from our Family

Dear Friend, 

​

The Gibson Family Charity (GFC) was founded out of the LOVE and commitment for family and friends suffering with the Sickle Cell Anemia (SCD) disease. Through their journey they began to see the need for education and change needed in Health Care Legislation.

​

One look in his eyes, shares all the hope and desires that this world has to offer; however, in 2015, a family sat in prayer waiting for those eyes to open again.  Due to the lack of medical education of SCD, medical staff personnel administered a near lethal dose of morphine. I wish I could tell you that this is uncommon, it’s not, people that live with SCD suffer mis-diagnosis and painful hospital experiences daily.  

Her Story

I’ve been battling a lung mass for over a year. Spring of 2016, I’d developed a mild cough that wouldn’t go away, always feeling tired and weak with shortness of breath, after seeing an allergist, my diagnosis was allergies. 

The Science Behind the

Story

There's more to it than sickle shaped cells. Sickle cell Disease is a blood disorder that you are born with that affects the shape of your red blood cells. Sickled red blood cells do not live as long as healthy ones.

"How can I help?" You Ask...
Make a personal donation.

Your donation will help us educate parents, train medical staff and support Health Care Legislations.  It will help us open the doors to a much-needed Hydration Center in the Los Angeles area. A center geared toward proactively providing the medical attention needed to prevent a SCD crisis.  Your donations will also be used to send SCD children to camp, to learn the necessary skills needed for pain management, resources for SCD and how to navigate the the shift from pediatric care to adult care and the overall education experience.

​

Sincerely,

​

Xavier and Avis Gibson and Family
