Help Bri Get Her Insulin and Diabetic Supplies
Donation protected
Hi kind souls! As many of you know I'm a Type 1 diabetic who is dependent upon insulin for both quality of life and ultimately I would not survive without insulin. This life saving hormone's cost is extremely inflated in the U.S. compared to the cost of production. (Often $600/vial without insurance and most diabetics use more than 1 vial/month) Additionally my insulin pump and accompanying sensor help me to better manage my blood sugar to avoid dangerous medical events. These are often even more costly than the insulin.
I've been privileged to be able to afford these necessities through insurance and credit (which I may never be done paying back) for 3.5 years, but that is no longer true. I've always been the person to give and asking for support is not comfortable for me, but we live in a time and place where community support and taking care of each other is what we have to do to survive. I would be so grateful and honored for any financial support and/or sharing of this fundraiser to your communities. As I have done in the past when I have a surplus of insulin or supplies, when I get to a time when paying for them is not a struggle for me, I will give to other diabetics in need. Thank you for your time in reading and any support you can offer.
