Everything from migrating to a new country to relationships to diet will be part of the discussion.REGISTER at bit.ly/VOICES-VOIXRegistration for both events are mandatory so we recommend doing so early and marking your calendar so you don't miss either of these discussions.We hope to see you all at both of these events as we continue to C.A.R.E.

We are super excited to announce the partnership between the Sickle Cell Association of Ontario and the Ujima Hardship Fund to bring you the SCAO Ujima COVID-19 Relief Fund.Over the next few months we have allocated $5,000 in order to help Sickle Cell community members buy groceries and other essential items.The economic impact from this pandemic on our community has been hard and receiving government benefits may not be an option for many of our community members. This is where the SCAO Ujima COVID-19 Relief Fund comes in.Please feel free to SHARE this information with those whom you know could benefit from this and if you are in a position to be able to help others with these items, do not hesitate to contact us.Unfortunately we are only able to provide relief to members of the Sickle Cell community residing here in Ontario, Canada.Stay tuned this week for details on who can apply, how to apply and what kind of help one can expect.S.C.A.O.#SCAO ##ujima #covid19 #relieffund #essentialitems #healthyfood #fooditems #community #communitylove #communityfirst #communityorganization #sicklecell #sicklecelldisease #sicklecellwarrior #sicklecellawareness #groceries #eathealthy #family #helpingothers #helpingeachother #helpus #helpothers #ontario #stayhome #staysafe #stayhealty
