Support Hannah's Journey to Diabetes Camp

Dearest supporter,

my name is Hannah. I am 15 years old. When I was six years old, the doctor told my parents that I was now diagnosed with type one diabetes. I am constantly giving myself injections of insulin and testing my blood sugar. Sometimes I get tired of having to do all of this and explain it all to my friends. it makes me feel different. One day at school my blood sugar got too low and I felt really sick. All of the kids were looking at me and asking silly questions. This embarrasses me. Even when I explain, those around me cannot fully understand what I do or go through because the disease is complicated and constant monitoring.

Three years ago I went to Camp Conrad Chinnock. All of the kids at this camp are also living with type one diabetes. I didn’t feel different! It was so special to finally meet Kids, who truly understand the day-to-day struggles of living with type one diabetes. This year I am in need of financial support. The camp cost is $880. I’m trying to raise money so that I can go to Camp.

diabetes, camping and educational services, Inc. gave me a form to send to you, so that you can send them a donation directly. They will put all the donations toward my camp fee. They will also send an acknowledgment letter for tax purposes to you. They will also let me know you sent a donation so I can send you a thank you. Here is a picture of me with some of my friends from 2021. Thank you for your support!
