A woman who lost two sisters to a blood disorder has been able to use the poetry which helped her grieve to donate money to families battling the disease.
Adesayo Talabi, a successful performance poet, has decided to give back to those affected by both the cost of living crisis and sickle cell anaemia, which causes abnormalities to the body’s blood cells.
Following the death of her sister Elizabeth who passed away shortly before her 10th birthday after being left with only two percent blood in her body, Adesayo, now 25, says she was left ‘heartbroken.’
