Jahzara Thompson's Transplant Fund

Tax deductible
If you're visiting this site and you can afford to, please donate - we need your help urgently!!!

11 year old sickle cell patient and Burlington, NC native Jahzara is smart, funny, and loves her family to the moon and back. Her charismatic smile is soooo infectious. We first met her and her family on Valentines Day 2016 at a photo shoot that MTS Sickle Cell Foundation hosted for sickle cell families and we were completely charmed by her vivacious personality. When her mother Denise contacted us and informed us of the financial difficulties that the family is currently going through due to Jahzara's sickle cell complications and upcoming cord blood transplant, her father's recent stroke, and Denise having to take off work to care of Zahzara, WE HAD TO DO SOMETHING!!!

For the last 2 years, Jahzara has been in and out of the hospital with infections, acute chest symdrome, pneumonia, pain crises, monthly blood transfusions, and more; she missed most of 4th and 5th grade. Because of the frequency of her complications and the intense pain that she's been going through due to the disease, her doctors thought that she would be a great candidate for a bone marrow transplant. Unfortunately, after numberous bone marrow drives in search of a match, none was found. But the doctors and family were not to be deterred! They looked into a cord blood transplant and decided that to be the course to rid Jahzara of sickle cell disease.


Jahzara is a warrior!
She is a fighter and one of the toughest young ladies we have all ever met, and is more than ready to fight this. Her strong and indomitable will has already proven to be more than enough to battle and beat every complication sickle cell disease has thrown her way. This next phase of her battle will be a hard one but with so many people who know and love Jahzara and her family, they’ve got an army behind them. With that being said, there are so many people looking to help so we’ve started with this page in hopes of raising money for the family to offset any costs that they may face in this upcoming battle.


The entire family continually need all of the positive thoughts, prayers, and support throughout these next few months. With a large community who loves this family, they will undoubtedly have the endless support that they need throughout this whole process. We ask that you please share this page on Facebook, through email, by word of mouth, etc. We want this page to reach the most people it possibly can.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and even if a donation isn’t possible, please send prayers and positive thoughts to Jahzara and her family. Let’s please do all we can as a community to help this family and Jahzara fight this battle with sickle cell disease.
