Help a Diabetic Child (HADC) Partners with Local Agencies on Diabetes Screenings.
Help a Diabetic Child (HADC), a not-for-profit public charity dedicated to helping families and individuals who are dealing with diabetes, is partnering with the Naples Lions Club, Core Health Partners, the Diabetes Alliance Network and Florida Gulf Coast University Lions Club to bring diabetes screenings to our community in Collier & Lee Counties.
Tami Balavage, founder/president of Help A Diabetic Child (HADC), credits the Naples Lions Club for originating the diabetes screening project. The Naples Lions Club is a volunteer organization committed to helping those who cannot afford eye exams, eyeglasses, hearing aids and eye surgery obtain the health services they need. Diabetic retinopathy is a primary cause of vision loss for people with diabetes. Diabetes also can make individuals more likely to develop other eye conditions.
To learn more about the screenings, to volunteer or schedule a diabetes screening at your organization, business, camp, school, church etc. please contact: Tami at: tami@helpadiabeticchild.org or call 239-821-5051

Welcome to Help a Diabetic Child
On December 22, 2010, our 16 year old son was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. We very quickly realized two very important things. The first; this disease is not one where an individual can lead a “normal” life and secondly it is costly, even with health insurance. Within a few short months we learned that there were a significant number of children in who were unable to get adequate supplies for blood glucose testing, something that must be done multiple times daily.
It was at this point where HADC was formed as a non-profit public charity with a mission to raise money to purchase testing supplies and insulin for kids in need. With that mission in mind, we began to seek funding through car washes, hot dog sales, and informational tables out side of supermarkets or any other source of nickels and dimes.
