Good news!!!
It is official,
We are now a registered Organization!!!
ADIJA LUCY MEMORIAL CARE & SUPPORT INITIATIVE (ALCARE INITIATIVE), formerly known as iAssist Foundation, was renamed in loving memory of Adija Lucy Ochai, whose life and legacy are deeply woven into the very fabric of our organization.
Adija Lucy was far more than a supporter — she was a mother, a guide, and a pillar of strength to iAssist Foundation. From the very beginning, she believed wholeheartedly in our mission to serve sickle cell warriors and vulnerable communities. She stood with us when the vision was still fragile, nurturing it with her unwavering faith, constant encouragement, heartfelt prayers, and even personal financial sacrifices. She gave selflessly, always placing the growth and impact of the foundation above her own comfort.
Beyond her support for the organization, Adija Lucy lived the values we stand for. She was a devoted caregiver who walked alongside a sickle cell warrior with compassion, dignity, and love until her passing on November 23, 2025. Her life was a living testimony of service, empathy, and deep commitment to the wellbeing of others.
Her sudden and unexpected passing left a painful void in our hearts, but her spirit remains alive in every life we touch and every act of care we provide. Renaming iAssist Foundation to ADIJA LUCY MEMORIAL CARE & SUPPORT INITIATIVE (ALCARE INITIATIVE) is our way of ensuring that her legacy of love, sacrifice, and service continues to shine. It is a tribute to a woman who gave everything to see others thrive, and whose memory will forever inspire our work.
Through ALCARE Initiative, Adija Lucy’s compassion lives on.
