THE ISSUE
The cost to manage
diabetes is rising
Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease in which the pancreas cannot produce enough insulin to naturally regulate the body’s blood sugar, leaving diagnosed individuals with a life-long dependency on costly medical insulin. Even for individuals who have sufficient insurance, access to health care, and stable employment, the costs of managing Type 1 Diabetes can put a significant dent in a family’s monthly budget.
For individuals in underserved and underinsured communities, this could mean having to choose between purchasing life-sustaining insulin for their child or food for their family.
THE WORK
A cause before the cure
THE MISSION
A cause before the cure
Help a Diabetic Child (HADC) strives to ease the burden for children and young adults who struggle financially and emotionally while living with diabetes.
THE IMPACT
We’ve served over 4,500 children,
families, and young adults
living with diabetes.
We’ve served
over 3,000 children, families, and young adults living with T1D.
Join us in celebrating
A Decade in Review - Remembering our 10 years of work.
In December of 2022, HADC celebrated 10 years of service to children and young adults in the Type 1 Diabetes community across the state of Florida and beyond. Looking back over the 10 years.
Join us in remembering our decade of success by reading the attached booklet by clicking on the picture of the book to open more pages.
Thank you to our Sponsors & Supportors!
Contribute to a specific cause:
Continuous Glucose Monitors
Help us provide 10 children with a year’s supply of Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs). All donations go directly to making a difference for children with diabetes.
Vials of Insulin
Insulin is the most critical and expensive medication prescribed to help manage diabetes. Contribute to our insulin fund so that no child with diabetes should ever have to go without it.
Mental & Emotional Support
We believe in coordinating treatment options that consider a child’s health holistically so that they have the opportunity to thrive both physically and mentally.
