Support Maya this World Diabetes Day

Our daughter Maya was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at just 2.5 years old. Overnight, our world changed. Type 1 diabetes is a condition that never sleeps — not for a moment, not for a day, not even on birthdays, school days or holidays. It requires constant monitoring, calculating, correcting, and watching for dangerous highs and lows. It is relentless.

For Maya, childhood looks different. Instead of carefree play, she carries medical devices. Instead of simple snacks, she has carb counts. Instead of sleeping through the night, her body often needs interventions to keep her safe. And yet, she does it all with strength, courage and a smile far bigger than this disease.

Managing Type 1 diabetes isn’t just hard it’s a full-time job.

Families like ours navigate:

·      Blood glucose checks day and night

·      Insulin pumps, sensors, site changes

·      Risk of severe hypos and frightening highs

·      Never-ending decisions — food, exercise, stress, growth, hormones

·      The emotional load of a condition that cannot be cured… yet.

This World Diabetes Day, we are asking for your support.

Your donation, even the smallest amount helps fund life-changing research, community support, and treatments that give children like Maya the chance at a safer, healthier future.

Every dollar is a step closer to better technology, better treatments, and ultimately, a cure.

💙 Please donate if you can.

Do it for Maya, and for the thousands of children and families walking this path every single day.

 Thank you for standing with us.

Together, we can make a difference.
