Our Mission
The Thalassemia Cure Foundation aims to cure and eventually eradicate thalassemia. We do this by giving out grants, spreading awareness about thalassemia, organizing blood drives, and making a positive impact of people’s lives. We support research facilities and are always looking for new treatments and exciting possibilities. There are hundreds of millions of people suffering from thalassemia, and we want to change that. Together, we can help bring an end to this disease. Our organization also hopes to hold events to support our cause and provide aid to those in need around us.
Our Story
On November 24, 1948, a woman named Meena, was born. She didn’t know it yet, but she had alpha thalassemia minor. She got married, had kids, and soon after, started feeling pale and out of breath. Her thalassemia later affected her kidneys, and she had to receive constant dialysis and red blood cell transfusions. She eventually passed away. The Thalassemia Cure Foundation was started on April 4, 2019 by her grandson, Nikhil, in the hopes that nobody will ever have to lose their grandmother or loved one to thalassemia ever again.
