Inspiring

Despite being diagnosed with sickle cell disease when she was 3 weeks old, 18-year-old Tymia Green has accomplished so much. She was crowned Miss South Carolina Pre-Teen in 2017, has lobbied Congress on behalf of Medicaid on Capitol Hill, and recently graduated high school — all while courageously battling pain crises and health complications.

When she was just a year old, her sickled red blood cells became trapped in her spleen, blocking blood flow and causing her spleen to swell.

“I was too small in size to go through surgery, so I had to have a year’s worth of blood transfusions — once a month — until I turned 2,” Tymia said.

Tymia later developed avascular necrosis of her hip and knee. This affects up to 10% of patients living with sickle cell disease and occurs when bone tissue dies due to blocked blood flow to the bones.

There have been numerous times she’s been hospitalized due to sickle cell pain crises and dangerously low hemoglobin levels.

“I could barely move, walk or stand up straight,” Tymia said. “I would have to have a blood transfusion — sometimes even two — to increase my hemoglobin and allow me not to be so lethargic.”

There was also a time when the national blood supply was so low that the blood she desperately needed was not on the hospital shelves.

“It was one of the scariest times in my life because I thought that I would not make it,” Tymia said. “My hemoglobin dropped to 5.9, and the blood that I needed was not available.”

Once a compatible unit of blood was found, it was transported from another state to be transfused 10 hours later. To date, Tymia has received 130 blood transfusions.

“When I receive a blood transfusion, it makes me feel rejuvenated and makes me feel as though I am back to myself,” she said. “Even though I may be in the hospital, I have a little piece of my life back.”

You could be a lifesaving match for a patient with sickle cell disease and the reason they feel like themselves once again. Make a difference in someone’s life by scheduling an appointment to give blood: https://rdcrss.org/4bXt97G

It was one of the major activities the current leadership brought up and it saw members through practical sessions of the below aspects of First Aid;
📌CPR
📌Hand Seat
📌 Choking

It was a moment of training and learning which has honed skills of all members who showed up.

A big thank you to all who showed up for it was worth your efforts.
