Joshua's Journal

Joshua’s Journal is a Quest to Cure Literacy Program and is designed to enhance the intellectual abilities of children who suffer from sickle cell anemia and other variations of the disease. Sickle cell anemia is a genetic blood disorder notorious for causing reoccurring pain, infections, blindness, stroke, damage to vital organs, and death. As a result, children with sickle cell anemia are prone to missing considerable amounts of school days throughout the year.

Our primary goal is to ensure that these children receive a proper education, despite inevitable incidents of absenteeism. It is our mission to identify and address any issues that children with sickle cell disease may face where education is concerned.

We encourage teachers and high school honor roll students around the valley to volunteer their time in helping theses students in the areas of reading, writing, english, science, art and math.

Quest to Cure’s Joshua’s Journal program mission is to help parents and teachers work together to achieve school success for children with sickle cell anemia.
