Our History
In 2018, a groundbreaking milestone was achieved as Dreamsickle Kids Foundation emerged as the pioneering Sickle Cell Disease organization in the vibrant state of Nevada. With unwavering determination, our foundation made history by establishing the first dedicated platform solely focused on addressing the unique needs of individuals impacted by Sickle Cell Disease.
From humble beginnings, Dreamsickle Kids Foundation embarked on a journey to raise awareness, provide support, and advocate for improved healthcare access. In a landscape where knowledge and resources were scarce, we dared to take the first step towards making a profound impact in the lives of those affected by this often overlooked condition.
Our establishment marked a turning point, igniting a beacon of hope and resilience for the Sickle Cell community in Nevada. Through relentless efforts, we shattered barriers, challenged perceptions, and championed the urgent need for increased support, understanding, and resources.
Since our inception, Dreamsickle Kids Foundation has become a symbol of unity and empowerment, bringing individuals, families, and communities together. We have woven a tapestry of compassion, advocacy, and education, nurturing an environment where no one faces the challenges of Sickle Cell Disease alone.
As we reflect on our remarkable history, we carry the spirit of those who came before us, amplifying their voices and striving to create a better future. Today, Dreamsickle Kids Foundation stands as a testament to the power of passion, resilience, and the unwavering dedication to improving the lives of those impacted by Sickle Cell Disease.
