Blood Clot Awareness & Advocacy

Know the Signs. Demand the Care. Save a Life.

Born from a survivor's story and the reality of many heartbreaking, preventable deaths, the Check My Flow Foundation is fighting to end preventable blood clot deaths — one community, one diagnosis, one life at a time.

Our Story

Raising Awareness So the Next Generation Doesn't Have to Fight Alone

"I am building this for my daughter, my nieces, and every woman in our community — so they know their rights, know the signs, and never have to beg to be believed."

Black women are dying during and after childbirth from blood clots — and too many of those deaths are preventable. Our founder survived a blood clot after being dismissed by emergency rooms, and that experience ignited a mission: to make sure the women who come after her are armed with the knowledge and advocacy tools to protect their own lives.

Check My Flow Foundation is her answer to a broken system — built for her daughter, her nieces, her family, and her community. Because decreasing maternal fatality for future generations starts with education, advocacy, and refusing to stay silent.

Who We Serve

Fierce Advocates for the Communities Healthcare Has Failed

We are an uncompromising voice for individuals in disenfranchised urban and rural communities across the United States — the exact landscapes where systemic healthcare bias, institutional underfunding, and medical gaslighting collide.

Black Maternal Health
Black women face significantly higher rates of pregnancy-associated VTE and are disproportionately dismissed in emergency settings.
Young Adults
Blood clots don't only affect the elderly. We educate young adults on risk factors, symptoms, and their rights as patients.
Underinsured Communities
Urban and rural patients facing financial barriers to diagnostic imaging — we fund the scans that save their lives.

Seed the Diagnostic Scholarship Fund

Your donation directly pays for a CAT scan, MRI, or ultrasound for someone who can't afford it. We pay hospitals directly — your gift becomes a life-saving procedure.
