Our Projects

At the Huisman Sickle Cell Foundation, we believe that those living with sickle cell disease deserve more than just care—they deserve community, compassion, and the tools to thrive. Our programs are designed to meet the real, everyday needs of individuals and families affected by this chronic illness. From health education and food assistance to housing support and scholarships, each initiative is rooted in our commitment to lift burdens and build resilience. Through practical support and heartfelt connection, we help sickle cell warriors rise above the odds—together.

Financial Assistance

The financial toll of chronic illness can place families at risk of losing stable housing. Through emergency rent and utility assistance, we offer a vital safety net when it's needed most.

Health Education Workshops

Our quarterly workshops empower families impacted by sickle cell disease with practical knowledge and supportive guidance. Covering topics like nutrition, pain management, mental health, and preventive care, these sessions create a space where participants can learn, connect, and thrive.

"Born to Rise" Scholarship Awards

The Born to Rise Scholarship honors the courage and determination of students living with sickle cell disease.

Community Engagement

We believe that strong communities are built through connection. Our programs encourage active participation through events, volunteerism, and outreach.
