Testimonials From Our Partners at Cincinnati Children's Hospital

Lauren Poling, MSW, LISW 
The Pediatric Sickle Cell Disease Team at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center

Rhonesha and I are so thankful for SCAF and your ability to help patients in need during this time.  It has been a difficult year for many and this assistance will help to offset some of that burden for our families most in need.​

Lynette Fenchel, APRN
​Division of Hematology at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center

I just wanted to reach out again and say THANK YOU for the incredibly generous donation. Families going hungry is always something we worry about, and it is so reassuring to have something we can offer them such as a gift card or a meal. I told a few members of the team and they were beyond thrilled. These gift cards will bring joy to many families with sickle cell (especially during this challenging time). This was such a wonderful surprise today!
