Amiaya has Hemoglobin SC sickle cell disease, which has caused severe pain, hospitalizations, medication reactions, and complications that have even required rehabilitation. Despite everything she’s endured, she continues to thrive. She skipped the second grade, is entering 9th grade virtually, reads at approximately a 12th-grade level, and has written and published a children’s book. She’s working on her second and dreams of becoming a pediatric cardiothoracic surgeon. Now, Amiaya has an opportunity to change the course of her life. She is scheduled for a bone marrow transplant on September 30, 2026, with her younger brother as her donor. Under this treatment/study, Amiaya will be the oldest patient and the only patient with Hemoglobin SC to receive this treatment at her hospital. Her journey could potentially help open doors for other patients with Hemoglobin SC in the future. A small donation could help her journey. link to give is in our story :) https://gofund.me/b81e1d44b
