Keep Ira Smiling: Fund His Essential Diabetes Pods

Donation protected
Hello, I am the mom of this adorable little boy, Ira. Ira has a personality that lights up the room when he walks in. I never thought we would be in this position for a second time, but here we are again.

Ira was diagnosed with Autism in January of 2021, and 6 months later, he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. The first 6 months of his diabetic journey were hard, and the sensory input of needle sticks made him stop eating. Luckily, I was able to get him on the Omnipod Dash pump, and we have been thriving ever since.

However, once again, we are at a stalemate with the insurance company, and they are refusing to cover the Omnipod 5 pods we use. So, we will have to pay $3,899.87 for a year's worth of pods. As a family of 7, this is quite the financial hardship.

We are asking for donations to provide Ira with the care he needs to keep thriving. Thank you for reading this, and if you can't donate, please share it so maybe we can get this done.
