Join Us in Supporting Lawrance Hines❤️
Blood Drive & Kidney Donation Awareness

Antioch Missionary Baptist Church invites the community to come together for a special Blood Donation Drive in support of Lawrance Hines, who is currently battling kidney disease and in need of a kidney transplant.

This event is an opportunity for our community to make a real difference. While we work to raise awareness about Lawrance’s need for a kidney donor, we are also encouraging everyone who is able to donate blood and help save lives. A single blood donation can help multiple patients in need, and your support brings hope to families facing medical challenges.

Even if you are unable to donate blood, we invite you to come out, learn more about organ donation, spread the word, and stand in support of Lawrance and others waiting for a transplant.

Your compassion, generosity, and willingness to help can truly make a difference.

📅 Date: Friday, June 19, 2026
⏰ Time: 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM
📍 Location: Antioch Missionary Baptist Church
2343 N. San Antonio Ave.
Pomona, CA 91767

For more information:
📞 (909) 621-5369

Let’s come together as a community to give hope, support Lawrance Hines, and help those in need through blood donation.

Osteoporosis is a disease that weakens the bones; bones become more fragile & break easily.
Low bone mass is a milder form of Osteoporosis.
Low bone mass and Osteoporosis are silent diseases.
Usually, patients won’t feel anything until weakened bones fracture.
Osteoporosis can be genetically inherited which means if your parents have it, you can possibly develop it as well!
Patients with SCD are more at risk for low bone mass. Over ½ of adults with SCD have low bone mass or Osteoporosis.
Patients with SCD that are inactive, have low body weight, serve anemia, poor calcium intake, low Vitamin D levels, and who smoke ci******es are also at greater risk for low bone mass & Osteoporosis

No Warrior should go without these essentials!🌙❤️
—————-
La osteoporosis es una enfermedad que debilita los huesos; los huesos se vuelven más frágiles y se rompen fácilmente.

La baja masa ósea es una forma más leve de osteoporosis.
La baja masa ósea y la osteoporosis son enfermedades silenciosas.
Por lo general, los pacientes no sentirán nada hasta que los huesos debilitados se fracturen.
La osteoporosis se puede heredar genéticamente, lo que significa que si tus padres la tienen, ¡tú también puedes desarrollarla!
Los pacientes con SCD tienen más riesgo de baja masa ósea. Más de ½ de los adultos con SCD tienen baja masa ósea u osteoporosis.
Los pacientes con SCD que están inactivos, tienen bajo peso corporal, anemia, baja ingesta de calcio, bajos niveles de vitamina D y que fuman ci*******os también tienen un mayor riesgo de baja masa ósea y osteoporosis

¡Ningún guerrero debería ir sin estos elementos esenciales! 🌙❤️

it’s important for Warriors to know the difference between primary care and your hematologist.
Primary care is a blanket provider which means they take care of everything that isn’t sickle cell related, and your hematologist takes care of everything sickle cell related. Primary care providers are responsible for your overall health and screening for complications such as high blood pressure, diabetes, etc., they also make sure that you’re up to date on vaccinations and any general illness. Hematologist are specifically for sickle cell disease and they should have a comprehensive understanding of sickle cell disease and if you feel like you don’t or need a knowledgeable hematologist please contact us here at the foundation and we’ll be able to assist you! ✌🏾🌙❤️

Es importante que los Warriors conozcan las diferencias entre la atención primaria y su hematólogo.
La atención primaria es un proveedor general, lo que significa que se encargan de todo lo que no está relacionado con las células falciformes, y su hematólogo se encarga de todo lo relacionado con las células falciformes. Los proveedores de atención primaria son responsables de su salud en general y de la detección de complicaciones como presión arterial alta, diabetes, etc. También se aseguran de que esté al día con las vacunas y cualquier enfermedad general. El hematólogo es específicamente para la enfermedad de células falciformes y deben tener una comprensión integral de la enfermedad de células falciformes y si siente que no lo hace o no necesita un hematólogo experto, póngase en contacto con nosotros aquí en la fundación y ¡podremos ayudarlo! ✌🏾🌙❤️

(1929), Daughter of the Dragon (1931) and Shanghai Express (1932). Though as a Chinese American she was often limited to smaller roles that fit the Asian stereotypes expected by white producers and audiences, Wong still managed to put her own stamp on the parts she was allotted. She built a career that spanned silent films, talkies, the theater and television before her death at the age of 56 in 1961. Wong has since been recognized as an iconic Asian American actress who dealt with difficult circumstances and helped blaze a trail for subsequent generations of performers.

Anna May Wong, una actriz asiático-americana que tuvo éxito tanto en Hollywood como en Europa en películas como Piccadilly

(1929), Hija del Dragón (1931) y Shanghai Express (1932). Aunque como china estadounidense a menudo estaba limitada a papeles más pequeños que se ajustaban a los estereotipos asiáticos esperados por los productores y audiencias blancas, Wong aún así logró poner su propio sello en los papeles que se le asignaron. Construyó una carrera que abarcó películas mudas, películas habladas, el teatro y la televisión antes de su muerte a la edad de 56 años en 1961. Desde entonces, Wong ha sido reconocida como una icónica actriz asiático-americana que se enfrentó a circunstancias difíciles y ayudó a destacar el camino para las generaciones posteriores de artistas.
