Collection: Crescent Foundation
September is Sickle Cell Awareness Month. The Candle Closet is partnering with Crescent Foundation: A Sickle Cell Initiative and selling our custom Crescent Candles. 50% of the proceeds will go to Crescent and help them continue to assist Sickle Cell strivers and allies transcend the disease through free educational resources, community support programs, and access to better health outcomes.
Sickle cell disease is the most common inherited blood condition. It affects red blood cells, which are responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body via a protein called hemoglobin.
When red blood cells become deoxygenated, they become rigid and sickle shaped. This causes them to clump together, instead of flowing freely through small blood vessels. This can cause pain crises and other serious and life-threatening issues.
