[@SK8N71]

Drizzy NBA damn, that sounds brutal

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! May GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!! FOR HE SEARCHES THE HEART!!! My wife has sickel cell and we have good days and Great days! She's a BEAUTIFUL AND A STRONG WOMAN!!! I thank you for your blessing to them and your raising of awareness. Here in GA, you have to either go to Grady or Agusta to get the right care, if you live where we do in Cumming where you don't experience a lot of those patients due to demographics; you don't receive the same treatment. Some die because of these Dr(s) and nurse's lack of knowledge, they don't know how lack of hydration can make results come back looking normal. And just because they're not showing signs of sickeling, doesn't mean they aren't or that they're not going through pain. Again thank you, and GOD bless you and your family!! Even if it don't directly affect us, it does! Even if they're being blessed and we're not, WE ARE!!! WE'RE ONE IN GOD, THANK YOU!!!

[@kingsasuke86]

I have sickle cell so I seriously appreciate what this man is doing. Sickle cell goes so unnoticed and it annoys the hell out of me. when it gets to the point that when I'm having a crisis and end up in the hospital I always ask to have my care be taken over by my Hematologist team. The floor doctors dont really deal with sickle cell and they treat me as if I'm there to score drugs or something. with the way our pain is you dont see many signs on the outside unless you've been around us and can see the very little outer differences. The floor doctors speak to me in this condescending tone as if I'm exaggerating my pain. There's been plenty of times where I was discharged from the hospital by floor doctors way too soon which usually results in me going right back in the hospital a few day later😒 Hospitals seriously need to work better on dealing with patients like us.

[@akray1153]

He's so underrated that I doubt the patients knew who he was lol but I hope they get better

[@kingog233]

[@jonathanohin7490]

Fuck out of here, first he didn't have to do anything he did it cause he wanted to, second that's his own money not yours, third of you care about the amount he should donate , how you donate and use your money
