Chrome Mamí - Diabetic Fundraiser
Donation protected
A lot of you know that I don’t live a normal life, no matter how much I smile and laugh. I am a Epileptic , Type 1 Diabetic who has been dealing with depression and bipolar disorder for as a long as I can remember. This month I turn 26 and this is my last month on my parents medical insurance. This has been one of the hardest years of my life (yet also the most rewarding) and to be honest I’m a little scared for my future.
I am trying to be the strongest I can although my every day life will never be the same because of my conditions. Some say I should be used to my daily life as for I’ve been diabetic for 15 years. But to be honest, it’s something you will never get used to or process. The unfair lifestyle I have to bear with for something I was unable to control really takes a role on you mentally. Diabetes had taught me a lot about myself, about the world, about the people around me. I have conquered a lot but still, this is only the beginning. I have pushed every day to not let this disease win over my life, I started Chrome Mamí as a project to prove that I can do anything and I am trying my best to continue to.
This year If thought about getting me Birthday/Christmas Presents, I will instead have a saving for all my medical expenses while I transition over into my next adulthood chapter as a T1D with other preexisting conditions. To put things in perspective, without medical insurance a vile of insulin is ~$300, I use about 2 a month. While places like Canada a bottle is about $30 without a prescription. My every day life is not easy, there is a lot I must do daily, even hourly to ensure that I’ll make it through . I know there is a lot i need to work on, and I am so blessed to be alive since I’ve been to close to death for comfort. Thank you so much to every one that has believed in me and my art this far and to any one that donates, your kindness will not be forgotten.
2020 will be filled with more opportunities to help my fellow diabetic bba just like me. My Diabetic Fundraising event {Semi/Sweet} will be back and better than ever. Feel free to contact me on how you can help to bring the next even alive. DJs/Venue/Sound/Lights. I love you all so much from the bottom and every square inch of my heart!
