Sickle cell disease isn’t stopping Lyric, a 9-year-old fashionista with big dreams who has already received five blood transfusions. Blood donations help ease her pain.
Lyric feels excruciating, crippling pains throughout the night and day. She explains it as a stabbing pain that causes her to scream at the top of her lungs.
The only thing that helps are blood transfusions.
“You’re doing more than you could even imagine as far as saving a life…It affects people in so many ways. For sickle cell, it’s our lifeline.”
