Welcome to MCS~ FUND, the Meesha Chanell Saxton Fund, dedicated to serving individuals affected by Sickle Cell Disease (SCD). Founded as a volunteer-driven 501©3 non-profit organization, our mission is clear: to provide Supportive Services, Advocacy, and Education to those battling SCD.

Mark your calendars for June 19th, World Sickle Cell Day, a crucial moment for raising awareness both nationally and internationally. Locally, we host an annual fundraiser to further our cause.

At MCS~ FUND, we envision a world where individuals impacted by SCD receive the financial support they need. Partnering with organizations like KKS Sickle Cell Anemia Adult Community Outreach and the American Red Cross, we host monthly support group meetings and an annual blood drive in September. This partnership ensures that those with SCD have access to the blood transfusions vital for their treatment, emphasizing the importance of donations from Black and brown donors.

Our commitment extends beyond financial assistance. Recognizing the often-overlooked needs of low-income and underserved SCD individuals, we provide aid with utilities, rent, food, medical supplies, transportation, and more. Education is key, and we strive to enlighten both the public and medical communities about the realities of SCD.

SCD is a complex genetic disease, affecting approximately 100,000 Americans, with a disproportionate impact on Black and African-American populations. Despite its prevalence, misconceptions abound, leading to tragic outcomes like the loss of Meesha Chanell Saxton at just 14 months old on December 24, 1996.

As we continue our work, we invite you to join us in making a difference. Your support is not just about easing pain—it's about fostering hope. Together, we can change the narrative surrounding Sickle Cell Disease, one act of kindness at a time. Thank you for considering the impact you can make with MCS~ FUND. Remember, "Pain is REAL, But so is HOPE!"
