If you missed any part of the homecoming month then I'm sorry to hear that because we had fun and tapping into the supernatural was a vibe!! Each day you saw a different side of the supernatural!  ESD 8th Annual Homecoming month was off the chain! Not only was it fun but it was also for a serious cause... Sickle Cell Anemia Disease. This week we have raised a total of $58,500L for Sickle Cell which is more than we made within the last 2 years. The goal is to donate more and more each year. . If you donated give a pat on the back to yourself because you have made an impact toward saving a life. For those that can't thank you themselves, allow me to say thank you on their behalf. 

Sickle-Cell Anemia is a disease that occurs when the red blood cells in the body are shaped like crescents, which can block blood flow in the blood vessels of the limbs and organs. Blocked blood flow can cause pain and organ damage and also raises the risk for infection.

It is estimated that between 90 to 100,000 Americans are living with Sickle-Cell Anemia, many of them are people of color!

Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder that affects red blood cells. People with sickle cell disease have red blood cells that contain mostly hemoglobin* S, an abnormal type of hemoglobin. Sometimes these red blood cells become sickle-shaped (crescent-shaped) and have difficulty passing through small blood vessels.

When sickle-shaped cells block small blood vessels, less blood can reach that part of the body. Tissue that does not receive a normal blood flow eventually becomes damaged. This is what causes the complications of sickle cell disease. There is currently no universal cure for sickle cell disease.

Hemoglobin is the main substance of the red blood cell. It helps red blood cells carry oxygen from the air in our lungs to all parts of the body. Normal red blood cells contain hemoglobin A. Hemoglobin S and hemoglobin C are abnormal types of hemoglobin. Normal red blood cells are soft and round and can squeeze through tiny blood tubes (vessels). Normally, red blood cells live for about 120 days before new ones replace them.

People with sickle cell conditions make a different form of hemoglobin A called hemoglobin S (S stands for sickle). Red blood cells containing mostly hemoglobin S do not live as long as normal red blood cells (normally about 16 days). They also become stiff, distorted in shape, and have difficulty passing through the body’s small blood vessels. When sickle-shaped cells block small blood vessels, less blood can reach that part of the body. Tissue that does not receive a normal blood flow eventually becomes damaged. This is what causes the complications of sickle cell disease.
