Tis' The Season for Restoring Hope Creating Smiles

The Holiday Season is upon us, and for many it is viewed as the most wonderful time of year. It can also be one of the most stressful times of the year as well. Mental stress has been identified as an independent cause of triggering a sickle cell pain episode. This year Breaking The SSickle Cell Cycle Foundation, Inc. has taken steps to help reduce some of the holiday stress for sickle cell families and have partnered with the Nashville Marine Toys for Tots Foundation to provide gifts to children in the area who are diagnosed with sickle cell disease. 

Our Tis The Season for Giving Program serves families in the Middle Tennessee area.  We provide families with food, gifts, and essential household items, depending on their needs. We not only give to the family member affected by sickle cell disease but to all children, teenagers, and caregivers in the family household, until program capacity is reached or end date for registration. The goal is to restore hope and create smiles for families who face challenging physical, emotional and mental stressors brought on by sickle cell disease throughout the year.
