Your help is needed!
Diabetes Motivational Coaching has a goal of providing coaching to people with diabetes regardless of financial need, and your donation will make all the difference!
Shaylyn has agreed to share her story with you as she sees how Diabetes Motivational Coaching has benefited her and can benefit so many more if funded.
Diagnosed with diabetes at only 18 months old, Shaylyn faced unimaginable challenges including being abandoned by her mother at 7 years old. Without the proper support Shaylyn always struggled with her diabetes. By age 19 Shaylyn had lost hope, discontinued checking blood sugars and taking shots. Shaylyn found herself in DKA multiple times a month.
When I met Shaylyn it was clear that she was in trouble with her diabetes. She was lethargic, continuously taking naps, constantly going to the bathroom, and drinking water. At meal times she was insatiable. She was presenting all the symptoms of undiagnosed diabetes, even though she had been diagnosed with diabetes almost 20 years ago.
With a donation from The Diabetes Foundation of the High Plains, Shaylyn was able to enroll into the Beyond Burnout Coaching Program.
Through Diabetes Motivational Coaching, Shaylyn was able to relieve the symptoms of undiagnosed diabetes in 1 week. Shaylyn reported a renewed sense of motivation and pride from her first week with Diabetes Motivational Coaching.
“It [Diabetes Motivational Coaching] really saved my life and made me a happier person and it opened my eyes on how much I need to take care of myself for the people around me. It keeps me going and keeps me motivated. Just knowing there is someone there that I can talk to, who has been in my shoes; makes it a lot better, and makes me more comfortable.”
The work cannot stop there. Shaylyn and those like her need support to continue their journey towards health. Diabetes Motivational Coaching holds strong in the desire to provide access to Diabetes Motivational Coaching to clients regardless of their financial situation. Everyone deserves access to the support and guidance needed to be released from diabetes burnout and live their new best life.
The $10,000 being raised will run 10+ subsidized Burnout Packages. The number of clients served will vary depending on the needs of each client. Please understand, Diabetes Motivational Coaching is not a 501c3 and donations are not tax deductible.
Every contribution, no matter the size, has a meaningful impact on the lives served. Together, we can improve the lives of the most vulnerable of the diabetes population. Thank you again for your support!
