" I am so delighted at this great news. They say we are weak, but we
are not. Labour involves pain and strength. How can we pull through
that if we were as weak as they speculated. Yes! We did pull through
labour; she was delivered of a bouncing baby boy. A huge testimony for
all sufferers" she said with beaming smiles and giggles.

The mother of the baby Mrs. Oluchukwu Nwafor who hailed from Ukpo in
Dunukofia Local Government Area was so gladdened with joy and
appreciated the Association for standing by her and other sickle Cell
Association members each time they needed help. According to her,
putting to bed was a herculean task for her, but she successfully
pulled through with the Grace of God. She urged her fellow members and
other sickle Cell patients that are yet to identify with the
Association to do so, as it is the only association that has and can
speak for them.

In the same vein, the coordinator of the Association continued her
moral crusade on churches and government to enhance their evangelism
and support towards the welfare of people living with sickle Cell
disorder. In her words sickle Cell is not an accidental disease but
one born out of ignorance of couples, and so the patients of the
disorder shouldn't be treated like filth but needs love, care and
support to live through their lives that is already embedded with
pain.
