Sickle Cell Mom/Advocate

My daughter , Tiana Dillard, has sickle cell anemia also called Sickle Cell Disease. She is type SS. I have learned a lot in caring for her. My mission is to educate people on the things that sickle cell patients go through. Life is not always easy. They have to live with pain and keep up with the world. Everyone needs to understand this illness better. My daughter is now a grown adult that battles everyday life by dealing with pain and managing her illness. Everyday challenges makes her stronger. She may not look sick but inside her body is fighting every second.. "There is beauty in your cells" touches on just that. Just because she does not look sick does not mean she is not fighting. I created Hope Cells jewelry so that each person can wear a piece of jewelry that makes them smile without forgetting the fight.
