Hi,
My name is Joy
Risper Omondi, I am 6 years old and I live and study in Kisumu County. I am the first
born in our family and I have one brother who is almost 2 and also a Sickle
Cell Warrior. I live with my parents and due to having Sickle Cell Disease I
always feel like my parents are discouraged by everything. They find it too
much to take good care for me and my brother but they keep supporting and
comforting me when in crises. I don't really understand what Sickle Cell is, all i know is I get sick a lot. The doctor has not explained what it is, my parents tell me it has no cure. I only can attend schools nearby my home for my parents’
fear of attacks while in school. I always live in fear of who will take care of
me when I grow up like my parents do currently.
As a young child I would
like people living with Sickle Cell Disease to be treated equally and be given
great medical care to enable us live a healthy normal life.
Love Life!
Risper
