Dear Help A Diabetic Child

I am incredibly grateful for your quick response in helping a student who was recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) and was missing school.

This student is part of an uninsured, Spanish-speaking family currently experiencing homelessness in Naples. He had been missing school because the family lacked critical insulin and medical supplies because of the high costs.
