Honoring Justin’s Legacy. Empowering Lives.
Creating awareness, supporting families, and standing strong for people with disabilities.
The Justin Johnson Legacy Foundation was born from love, faith, and a promise.
Inspired by the life of Justin Johnson—a vibrant young man who lived with sickle cell disease and faced pain with quiet strength—our mission is to make sure no one suffers in silence or from a lack of understanding. We educate schools and communities, equip families with resources and comfort, and advocate for disability inclusion so every person can participate safely and with dignity.
Every workshop, every comfort kit, every partnership is powered by compassion and the belief that awareness saves lives. Together, we turn grief into action, and action into lasting change.
Programs Snapshot
Policy Advocacy
We fight for balanced care. We seek to engage in initiatives on all levels from local to international to develop standard practices and policies that improve care and quality of life for persons suffering from sickle cell disease.
Disability Advocacy
We champion equal access and fight stigma. Through workshops, community forums, and resource guides, we seek to equip families, schools, and workplaces to embrace and support individuals living with disabilities and the families that support them.
Sickle Cell Awareness & Education
Inspired by Justin’s journey, we seek to bring sickle cell awareness to schools, churches, and community spaces. Our programs focus on early education, health safety, and empowering young people to advocate for themselves and others.
Family Support Services
We stand with families through the toughest moments. From comfort kits filled with essentials, to peer support groups and resource navigation, our team seeks to make sure no family faces this journey alone.
Community Health & Awareness Events
We bring health education directly to the community through fairs, school partnerships, and local events. By combining awareness with action, we seek to empower families with the knowledge and tools to live healthier, stronger lives.
