My name is Renee Carter
I'm 23 with SICKLE CELL  DISEASE...

WELCOME TO MY WORLD!

 

CREATE YOUR OWN WAY TO LIVE WITH SICKLE CELL DISEASE

 

     My name is Renee Carter and I have a genetic disorder call Sickle Cell Disease. I’m a 23 year old, fiance and mother. I have a four year old daughter and a baby boy on the way (yes I'm currently pregnant). I’m in school part time to be a Registered Nurse and also I‘m a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA).  

 

     See I have dreams…sometimes acomplishing them is very challenging for me. I just have to take one day at a time. I look like a healthy young woman but hurt everyday despite what everyone else is doing. I’m starting my very own Support group for people with Sickle Cell Disease, and for anyone who just wants to talk about it.

 

     My short term goals are to share ways to manage pain as an alternative to long hospital stays and medication if the Sickle Cell pain crises aren’t too severe. Also to use the resources available now to spread more Sickle Cell Awareness. My long term goals are to contribute to Sickle Cell Disease Research and raise money through fundraising and donations for possible cures they have in working progress. And while I go through pretty painful episodes myself I’m not going to let Sickle Cell Disease stop me from making a difference and helping people.

Be more educated on how to LIVE WITH SICKLE CELL DISEASE

I'm taking one day at a time. Its ok to talk to someone about Sickle Cell even if you are not the one who has it. Everyone is welcome to join the fight for Sickle Cell Disease.
The Sickle Cell Disease Association of America has alot of information on what Sickle Cell Disease is and who is doing what for cures.
They are a motivater for me and will help me reach my goals.
About me-
I have two children with Sickle Cell Trait. I know it was a risk to have them but I can't let Sickle Cell Stop my Dreams and you shouldn't either. I was diagnosed with Sickle Cell Disease since I was 2 years of age like many others...so does that mean I should not have chance to live?
