Help Gracie Fight Diabetes with Stem Cells

Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters,

My name is Jeff Leuty, and I’m reaching out with a heartfelt plea for my 10-year-old daughter, Gracie, who lives with type 1 diabetes. This condition requires constant management, and as Gracie approaches puberty in a few years—a critical time for her growth and development—her diabetes could pose significant challenges to her health and increase the risk of future complications. My greatest hope is to give Gracie a chance at a healthier, more independent life, free from the daily burden of insulin dependence.

We are exploring an innovative stem cell therapy offered by a clinic in Florida, which has reported promising results in treating type 1 diabetes. This cutting-edge treatment has the potential to significantly reduce Gracie’s reliance on insulin or, in some cases, reverse the condition entirely. The estimated cost for this therapy is $27,000, a figure that covers the procedure but may not include additional expenses like follow-up care. While stem cell therapy for type 1 diabetes is still experimental and not guaranteed, advancements in this field give us hope for a breakthrough that could transform Gracie’s future.

We are launching a fundraising campaign to raise $27,000 to make this treatment possible. Your generous support, no matter the amount, will bring us closer to giving Gracie the opportunity for a life without the constant demands of diabetes. Every donation is a step toward helping her thrive as she enters her teenage years and beyond.

We are diligently researching the clinic and treatment to ensure it’s the right path for Gracie, and we’re consulting with her medical team to make informed decisions. By contributing, you’re joining us in this journey to explore a promising option that could change her life. Please consider donating and sharing Gracie’s story to help us reach our goal.

With gratitude and hope,

Jeff Leuty
