Build Hope Together for Sickle Cell Warriors in Guyana
This building will be so much more than just walls and rooms—it will be a dream come through. Here’s what the three stories will include:

1. Taxi Service: A dedicated transportation service for people with sickle cell, so they never have to worry about how to get to important appointments or the grocery store. This taxi service will also offer rides to other community locations, making travel easier and less stressful.

2. Grocery Store & Food Mart: A space where we can access healthy, affordable food without the long, exhausting trips. This grocery store will offer a variety of fresh produce, pantry staples, and nutritious meals specifically catered to the needs of the sickle cell community.

3. Mini Mall: Imagine a place where you can shop for everything you need, from comfortable clothing to essential health products all in one spot. The mini mall will feature small businesses dedicated to serving our community with care and compassion.

4. Event Hall: A large, welcoming space where we can hold support groups, host events, and come together for special celebrations. This hall will be open to the community for gatherings that help us connect, learn, and celebrate life’s milestones.

Why This Matters to Me:

I’ve lived with sickle cell my whole life, and I’ve seen how much we need spaces like this places that make life a little easier, offer support, and foster community. I want to build something that not only helps meet basic needs but also creates joy, connection, and peace of mind for people who share this journey.

But I can’t do this alone I need your help to make it happen.

How You Can Help:

Your donations will go directly toward funding the construction and development of this three story building. Here’s how your support can make a difference:

- $25 can help fund a ride for a person with sickle cell who needs transportation to a medical appointment or grocery run.
- 70 can contribute to the food mart, helping us stock healthy, affordable food options.
- $500 can support the construction of the event hall, where support groups and community events will take place.
- $1,000 or more will bring us closer to making this entire vision a reality!
