Their story

In her interview she talks about managing symptoms while trying to be believed by people who may not understand the intensity of a crisis. The experience is physical and emotional, affecting ordinary routines and a sense of connection with others.

Finding a welcoming community through Plasma of Hope has helped Nicole feel less alone. She chose to share her story despite feeling nervous, hoping that someone else living with sickle cell will recognise their own experience and seek support.
