Help Connor Begin High School with a Diabetes Pump

Hello everyone!

My name is Ebony, I am Connor’s aunty and Kerry’s sister!

I am starting this fundraiser for an insulin pump for connor. Having this device will assist in a Healthier, Happier Future while living with Type 1 diabetes. A condition he will have for the rest of his life!

Meet Connor: A Brave 11-Year-Old Living with Type 1 Diabetes.

Connor was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at just 6 years old. After going to the doctors for a flu injection and Kerry mentioning a few concerns, this was something they never expected. They received a life changing phone call and they were admitted into Monash Children’s hospital. Since then, he has bravely managed his condition with 4 daily insulin injections, counting every carb he eats and making multiple life saving decisions daily.

Now, as Connor prepares to transition into high school, he’s made a big and exciting decision: he’s ready to switch to an insulin pump!

This pump will mean 1 injection a week.. instead of 28!

Assist in stabilising his blood sugar levels and greater freedom during a time when fitting in and feeling “normal” is so important.

The only challenge? The cost. A diabetes pump comes with up to a $10,000 price tag—a cost that is unfortunately not covered by the public system.

We’re reaching out to our greater community, friends, family and caring supporters to help make this life-changing device possible for Connor and his family.

Your support—no matter the size—will help Connor walk into high school feeling confident, safe, and free from the daily stress of multiple injections.

Thank you for helping us give Connor the best start to this next chapter in his life.

(All funds raised will go directly towards the cost of the insulin pump and any essential supplies.)
