The Critical Need
Carla Howard, Sickle Cell warrior
Carla Howard went into a full sickle cell crisis within a span of two hours in 2017. "The pain was the worst I had ever felt," she recalls. After waiting 96 hours for a compatible match, Carla received her much-needed blood transfusion.
For patients with sickle cell disease who often rely on regular blood transfusions, having blood on the shelf that is matched to their genetic profile is crucial.
