When I told my mum I wanted to start advocating for people living with sickle cell disease, she was worried.
She said, "No, don't start. You will just expose yourself."
Then she added, "Wait until you have money."
But I couldn't wait.
I had lived with sickle cell disease. I knew the pain, the hospital visits, the uncertainty. If my story could help even one person, I believed it was worth telling.
A few days later, my mum came back to me with tears in her eyes.
She said, "Now I understand. You're trying to deliver people from pain."
Those words have stayed with me ever since.
That is the vision behind the Aghogho Sickle Cell Care Foundation—not just raising awareness, but helping prevent future pain through education.
Today, I'm inviting you to become part of that vision.
This World Sickle Cell Awareness Campaign, we're raising ₦1.5 million to place our Sickle Cell Awareness Comic Book into the hands of 1,000 secondary school students.
For ₦1,500, you can sponsor one student to learn:
What sickle cell disease is.
Why genotype testing matters.
How informed choices can help prevent sickle cell disease.
How to show empathy for people living with the condition.
When you sponsor a student, you're doing more than buying a comic book.
You're helping a young person make informed decisions that could shape their future and the future of generations to come.
If this vision resonates with you, I'd be honoured to have you join us.
Together, let's deliver people from pain—one student, one comic book, one informed future at a time.
Campaign: 21 July – 31 August 2026
