Why We Are Only Assisting Children at This Time
Due to tough economic times, like many businesses we have had to make difficult and painful decisions to ensure that iPump will be around long after the recession has passed. Therefore, we have had to close most of our programs and are not currently accepting applications for adults, or from those who do have at least some insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid.
In order for iPump to weather the financial crisis so many are facing, we have had to return to our original mission - only helping children with type 1 diabetes and offering free, receritfied insulin pumps to the uninsured.
Until we are able to raise funds needed to sustain and grow iPump again, we are using all our very limited resources to help those facing the most severe crisis of all - that of parents of children who do not have insurance and who have type 1 diabetes.
We need donors to trust in our commitment to our cause and in our business integrity and continue sending donated supplies while we look for outside funding to help with the business expenses. Financial donations are critical to our continued success in 2009 but we are not closing our doors. If you can give, please do so generously. With the right financial support, we can someday re-open our programs to adults and people with type 2 diabetes as well.
If you know someone (or a corporation) with a big heart that can help, please tell them about iPump.
