- — Who We Are
Our Mission.
No One Behind (NOB) Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to ensuring that children and families impacted by sickle cell in under-resourced communities are SEEN — supported through life-saving care, educated through genotype awareness, empowered with sustainable resources, and never forgotten through collaborative, community-driven solutions.
We provide free life-saving medicines, essential aid, and education, while partnering with communities and organizations to strengthen healthcare outcomes and create lasting, sustainable impact in the communities we serve.
“At the heart of our work is the belief that every warrior, their families and communities deserves to be seen, supported, and given the opportunity to thrive — regardless of where they live.”
The foundation was established in honor of our founder’s sister, Matilda, whose strength as a sickle cell warrior continues to inspire our mission and commitment to serving others every day.
Our guiding promise: Leaving No One Behind. Join our community of supporters, partners, and volunteers making this a reality.

Our Core Program.
Three interconnected programs form the backbone of our 2026 impact strategy — each targeting a distinct need in the warrior community.
Warrior Community Engagement & Outreach
Providing direct, life-saving support while expanding our reach into new communities every quarter.
Warrior Mom Empowerment Initiative
Investing in the mothers who carry warriors — through business skills, health literacy, and peer support.
Capacity Building for Sickle Cell Warriors
Building skills, community, and confidence so warriors can thrive beyond their diagnosis.
- — Warrior Stories
Real Lives. Real Impact.
Behind every program are real people — warriors, mothers, and families whose lives have been changed. Here are some of their stories.
Warrior Women Magazine
An inaugural magazine publication by No One Behind Foundation in commemoration of International Women’s Day, spotlighting women defying the odds of Sickle Cell Disease.
Being a woman is a whole adventure on its own. Throw in sickle cell disease (SCD), and you’ve got yourself a rollercoaster ride with unexpected turns, surprise twists, and moments that test your limits
Womanhood is layered with complexity, beauty, and an evolving sense of self. Now imagine carrying all of that alongside the daily realities of living with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD).
Have a story to share? We’d love to feature you.
