Revée Agyepong was 12 years when she typed in the words Sickle Cell Disease into the google search bar. Her heart sank, jaw dropped and eyes swelled up with tears when she saw the life expectancy of 14 years flash across the screen. Over the years she experienced everything from crippling pain crises, pulmonary embolism scares, high powered blood transfusions and multiple surgeries. Feeling forgotten by God, she found herself hopeless and running out of options. Revée was amazed when she passed the age of 14; she truly had no idea that God had a bigger plan for her life. With the help of her sister, she pushed for an opportunity to be cured of sickle cell disease via stem cell transplant. With only a 14% chance to have a donor match in her family, Revée and her entire family were overjoyed when they found that her older sister was a 10/10 perfect match! She became one of the first adults in Western Canada to undergo a stem cell transplant to cure sickle cell disease. God blessed Revée with a second chance at life and this time she gets to do it sickle cell free! Despite her challenges, she didn’t allow herself to give up. She became a fierce advocate for herself and others and continues to dedicate her life to paving the way for those that follow. Come along with Revée on this triumphant story of determination, grit and the power of God.
