Type 1 Buddies (Mentors)

Purpose: To learn about the buddy’s experience and match them with a younger or newly diagnosed type 1 child based on personality and comfort. 

My mission is to create a compassionate community where children and families affected by Type 1 Diabetes feel understood, supported, and never alone—offering guidance, encouragement, and a true sense of belonging.
