Our mission and purpose

Warriors Only’s mission is to uplift children and adults living with sickle cell disease through advocacy, education, support, and meaningful experiences. Rooted in St. Louis, Missouri, we work to ensure that warriors and their families feel heard, valued, and supported—because no warrior should face sickle cell alone.

Founded by sickle cell warrior Kameira Harris, Warriors Only turns lived experience into a commitment to serve others. We understand how pain, hospital stays, and everyday challenges can affect a warrior’s life—and how much compassion, connection, and moments of joy can mean.

Our purpose is to build a community that advocates for respectful care, increases sickle cell awareness, connects families with resources, and creates opportunities for trips, camps, and getaways. As we grow, we aim to offer emergency financial assistance to eligible warriors facing hardship.

We want every warrior to have the support to navigate difficult days and opportunities to make lasting memories beyond the hospital walls.

Every warrior deserves to be heard. Every warrior deserves support. Every warrior deserves joy.
