<div>We’re Cheryl and John Navar, and we’ve been inspired by the incredible strength of children living with Type 1 Diabetes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every day, these kids face challenges most adults can’t imagine — finger sticks, sensors, insulin pumps, and the constant balancing act that comes with managing blood sugar — all while living with a lifetime of food restrictions that touch nearly every part of their day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Yet they keep showing up with courage, joy, and smiles that could light up a room.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>One day, Cheryl had an idea. As a pediatric diabetes educator and, avid Barbie collector, she wanted to find a way to bring these children a moment of joy — something that said,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>“You’re strong. You’re seen. You’re not alone.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That’s how the Breakthrough Barbie Bonanza was born.
</div>
<div>When she discovered that Mattel had created a Barbie featuring a glucose monitor and insulin pump, she thought: What if every child living with Type 1 Diabetes could have one of these?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What started as one small idea has turned into a growing community movement. With the help of friends, family, and incredible supporters across the country, we’ve already rallied nearly 1,000 Barbies — and now we’re working to bring that same encouragement to even more children nationwide.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>---
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our Goal
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our goal is to raise $100,000 to put a Breakthrough Barbie into the hands of every child living with Type 1 Diabetes that we can reach.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Each doll represents a breakthrough moment — a spark of confidence and connection that reminds every child that their diagnosis, their food restrictions, and their daily routines don’t limit their dreams, their imagination, or their joy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donation helps us:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Purchase Barbies in bulk directly from Mattel or approved retailers
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cover shipping and packaging costs
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Expand this effort to reach more families and children nationwide
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And if we’re blessed enough to raise more than what’s needed for Barbies, every additional dollar will go toward other diabetic-themed toys, ensuring every child receives something special, no matter what’s left on the shelf. We are also hopeful that, once Mattel sees the support, that we can rally for a T1D Ken doll as well. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>---
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why It Matters
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Representation matters.
</div>
<div>For a child managing a lifelong condition, seeing a doll that looks like them, complete with a glucose monitor or insulin pump, can make a world of difference. It turns something medical into something normal, even empowering.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every dollar goes directly toward purchasing and distributing Barbies and diabetic-themed toys.
</div>
<div>No overhead. No middlemen. Just real people coming together to bring joy to children who deserve it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>---
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank You
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To everyone who’s shared, supported, or donated — thank you.
</div>
<div>You’ve helped turn one heartfelt idea into a growing movement of compassion, hope, and community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And to every child who will open one of these toys — this is for you.
</div>
<div>You are limitless.
</div>
