Good evening, SWFL!
Happy Labor Day Weekend everyone!
In spite of the inclement weather conditions, Empress Delectable Delites still had a successful (SOLD OUT) Red Velvet Chicken and Waffles in honor of Go Red for Sickle Cell.
Today, I paid homage to my beloved late sister Kimberly, who passed away 13yrs ago from complications of
Sickle Cell Disease.
Just like the color Red Velvet, Kimberly was BOLD and like the symbolism of the Chicken, she was COURAGEOUS!
Sickle Cell impacted her life in a great way, but she didn’t let it stop her from doing what she loved.
She fought hard to get through her 46th birthday and 2 days later,
God gave her eternal life with Him FREE of PAIN, PILLS, SUFFERING and LIMITATIONS!! 🕊️😇🙏🏾🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
So, I want to say THANK YOU, to those of you who supported this initiative and to those of you who purchased the meals to donate to others- (Sheila) and Todd Thomas
I was very grateful to see our very own Mr Gary Bostic stop by and purchased some for a few of his youths and his wife.
A big SHOUT OUT to Todd for sharing the flyer and for the contribution.
Your sharing of the flyer garnered the attention and support of Representative Cyndi Banyai.
What a pleasant surprise to meet her and her friend and become acquainted.
If you don’t REALLY know about Sickle Cell, then I encourage you to be EDUCATED, EMPOWERED and ENGAGED to know about it and to help “Break the Sickle Cycle.”🩸🧬🩸
