Their story — in their own words

Every month, our clinic sees children whose families are rationing insulin because they can't afford a full monthly supply. In 2026, in the United States, this is still true. We refuse to accept it.

This campaign funds a full year of supplies — insulin, continuous glucose monitors, test strips, and pump supplies — for 30 uninsured or under-insured children with Type 1 diabetes in the Phoenix metro area.

The breakdown per child, per month, is roughly $60 for insulin, $80 for CGM sensors, and $25 for test strips and lancets. Over 12 months across 30 kids, that's about $22,000 — and no family pays a cent.

We've been running this program on a shoestring for three years. Every kid we've enrolled has stayed enrolled. No emergency room visits for DKA. No missed school days for hypoglycemia. It works.

Please help us keep the shelves full. These are literal, life-saving supplies for kids whose only mistake was being born to parents without the right insurance card.
