One of our clients is Diabetes Solutions of Oklahoma. One of the things they do is run camps for kids with diabetes, so they can hang out with others in a similar situation to their own, and learn how to take care of themselves. I recently received the following email from Casey Bottoms, our contact at DSOK.
Tim,
I recently came across a camper who really needs some help. Dillon is 8 years old and has Type 1 diabetes. His mother passed away and his father works on a limited income. His dad is a very hard worked (as well as a very dedicated parent) and is having some trouble sending his son to diabetes camp. Dillon desperately wants to meet friends with diabetes and feel like a “normal” kid. We were able award him with a $300 scholarship. He still needs $150 to be able to attend.
Do you know of a business or individual that would be interested in donating to Dillon? I really feel like this family could use some additional support and that he would greatly benefit from this program.
Thank you for your time,
Casey Leigh Bottoms
