Kimberly Leitz has lived with Type 1 Diabetes since childhood, and her journey has always required careful management and resilience. After a work-related accident in 2023, Kimberly lost her job and her medical insurance, leaving her to rely on various sources for her essential insulin pump and CGM supplies. Now, those resources have run out, and the only option left is to purchase these supplies directly, which is extremely costly.

Kimberly is considered a "brittle" diabetic, meaning her blood sugar levels can swing dangerously high or low without the right equipment. Without infusion sets for her Tandem pump, she will be forced to switch to periodic injections. The extreme highs and lows that result from injections, instead of a continuous flow via the pump, can lead to serious damage to her body's vital organs. The supplies needed include infusion sets for her pump, cannulas, and DEXCOM G7 CGM sensors and adhesives. She only has a few days of supplies left, making this an urgent situation.

In addition to the need for these medical supplies, Kimberly is searching desperately for a new job and needs help with vehicle payments, maintenance, and fuel so she can attend interviews for potential employment. By supporting Kimberly, you’re helping her maintain her health and avoid life-threatening complications, while also giving her the chance to get back on her feet. Every contribution will go directly toward purchasing the medical supplies and supporting her efforts to secure a new job. Your help can make a real difference in her life right now.
