Monthly Support That Meets Real Needs
Adopt A Warrior is a monthly giving program that connects compassionate donors with people living with sickle cell disease. Your recurring gift (starting at $5/month) goes directly to cover critical needs such as rides to medical appointments, groceries, utility bills, rent support, hospital visit packages, and caregiver respite. Donors receive a digital adoption certificate, quarterly impact updates, and the option to volunteer for visits. All gifts are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
​
Your monthly donations will aid warriors in several different areas:
​
Transportation Assistance
Covers ride-share, gas cards, or public transit for medical visits, treatments, and crisis follow-ups.
​
Utility Support
Helps keep essential utilities on during medically challenging months—electricity, water, and gas.
​
Food Assistance
Provides groceries, emergency meal boxes, or delivery services for Warriors in crisis or hospital recovery.
​
Partial Rent Support
Helps prevent eviction or displacement by covering a portion of rent during hardship months.
​
Hospital Visit & Care Packages
Provides volunteer visits, care packages, and emotional support during hospital stays.
​
Caregiver Respite (Sitting With a Warrior)
Gives caregivers a break by offering trained volunteers to sit with Warriors at home or in the hospital.
​
Burial & End-of-Life Assistance
Helps families cover urgent end-of-life expenses such as burial support, memorial arrangements, or essential bereavement needs.
