Honoring Strength. Extending Hope. Changing Lives.
The HWJ Sickle Foundation
The HWJ Sickle Foundation is a purpose-driven organization dedicated to supporting individuals and families impacted by sickle cell disease through advocacy, education, and direct community support. Founded in honor of Herman White Jr., whose life is a powerful testimony of resilience and perseverance, the foundation exists to ensure that no family faces this journey alone.
Sickle cell disease affects thousands of individuals and families, often bringing not only health challenges but financial strain, emotional stress, and barriers to opportunity. The HWJ Sickle Foundation is committed to meeting those needs with compassion, resources, and action.
