Reasons to Donate
Your support can help us reach more children with T1D in the U.S.
We currently recruit and connect adults and children with T1D to their local Big Brothers Big Sisters to be matched.
Our team engages with local T1D organizations, hospitals, schools, and corporations to identify interested participants and supports everyone throughout the matching process.
Your donation helps us extend our reach, expand to more communities, work with more organizations. and change the lives of the T1D youth in our communities.

I wish every T1D kid had the opportunity to have an Ariana in their lives. I wish all T1D families could experience their child having a mentor that really understands the daily challenges of life with T1D. Emmie has developed such an incredible relationship with Ariana that has increased her confidence and brought joy to her life because of diabetes. We are so thankful for the [Diabetes Buddies] Program for bringing Ariana into our lives and giving Emmie so many “Best Days Ever”!
