Hi, my name is Inessa. My 2-year-old daughter, Emma, was just diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that causes dangerous blood sugar highs and lows. For a toddler like Emma, this means constant monitoring and a real risk of emergencies—especially at night when she can’t tell us how she feels.

I am raising funds for a Diabetic Alert Service Dog that can detect changes in Emma’s blood sugar and alert us before it becomes dangerous. These dogs can wake us up at night and help keep her safe during the day. The program costs more than we can afford, especially with medical bills and everyday expenses. I want to give Emma the best chance at a safe and healthy childhood, and this service dog will be a life-changing addition to my family.

With everything we’re facing, we can’t do this alone. Every donation, share, and prayer means the world to my family. Thank you for helping me protect my little girl. — Inessa and family
