To heal the soul, serve the body, and renew the mind — through faith, compassion, and structured care.

About the Foundation

The Nikia R. Noisette Sickle Cell Foundation is a faith-based, spiritually rooted nonprofit committed to love, compassion, and holistic healing. While our work is inspired by biblical principles and divine compassion, we are not a religious institution. We honor and welcome people of all backgrounds, beliefs, and walks of life.

Our faith guides us to see every person as sacred, worthy of care, and capable of healing—body, mind, and spirit. Whether through prayer, meditation, reiki, or simply holding space, our goal is to walk beside each warrior on their healing journey.

We are grounded in faith, but open in love. You belong here.

Programs & Services

At the Nikia R. Noisette Sickle Cell Foundation, our programs are designed to uplift, empower, and provide real solutions for individuals and families living with sickle cell disease. We blend faith, education, and wellness to bring relief, hope, and long-term transformation.

Sacred Sips

Sacred Sips is a wellness initiative of the New Dawn Initiative (DBA), a program under the Nikia R. Noisette Sickle Cell Foundation. Through scriptural herbalism and ancestral wisdom, we promote spiritual and physical healing for sickle cell warriors and our greater community. Each 'sip' offers nourishment for both body and soul — pairing herbs with scriptures, affirmations, and education rooted in faith, resilience, and restoration.
