Why support us?
In 2007 we helped 206 people with diabetes most of whom were children and 95.02% of all funds spent were given directly to others in need. Our combined costs for program administration and business operating expenses were only 4.98% of our expenses.
Print/View a checklist of our diabetes assistance programs and compare what we do to any other program, organization -- government or private -- and see why what we do is both unique among the diabetes helping industry and why so many people turn to us for help.

Kevin was diagnosed with type 1 at age 15, at a routine annual physical. He had no notable symptoms and we suspected nothing. The pediatrician did a urine glucose screen by chance, and called us in to repeat it. We went to a hospital clinic the next day for diagnosis and education, and Kevin started insulin injections that night. Quite a life-changing event for a teenager who had been thankfully healthy up to then! He gave his own injections from the start and has caught on fast to the many things to learn to do. We are proud of him, but know it is not an easy journey. Candice, Rockville, MD Shipped 02/23/2007 |
Kevin's mom asked us to finish this quilt for her son in time for his 16th birthday. Kevin, we wish you a ... HAPPY 16th BIRTHDAY! The quilt, Parrots and Stars, was pieced by 7-year-old Elizabeth who also has type 1 and quilted with help from her mom. |
