Sickle Cell Awareness
The Hyacinth Scarlett Foundation’s Sickle Cell Awareness Program was created to increase awareness about sickle cell disease. Donations of Sickle Cell Warrior notebooks, coloring books, and crayons with other health items are then delivered to local hospitals and group homes. Items are continually replenished by participating supporters and the Foundation’s collections provide the opportunities for participants to find inspiration, encouragement, and learning experiences.
Projects have involved the following participating organizations:
Advent Health Orlando
Atrium Health: Levine Children’s Hospital North Carolina
Jackson Health: Holtz Children’s Hospital Miami
Shepherd Charities
Travel for Care Lodging Grant Program
Travel for Care Lodging Grant Program with Atrium Health Levine Children’s Hospital for Patients with Sickle Cell Disease
For Families
We know that traveling for treatment can feel overwhelming! Understandably, there can be complex logistics in addition to added expenses during your time away from home. The mission of the Hyacinth Scarlett Foundation’s Travel for Care Lodging Grant Program is to ensure children battling sickle cell disease have the financial assistance needed to have lodging during treatment for clinical trials or innovative treatment modalities not currently available at their local treatment center. For families interested in assistance through our Travel for Care Lodging Grant program, please fill out the request form here: https://forms.gle/DJ3ewaTvYzM7FSFy7
Please note that this program can only be applied for if referred by a member of the healthcare team at Levine Children’s Hospital, usually a social worker. If you need help connecting with your healthcare team about the program, please reach out to us at HScarlettFoundation@gmail.com
