Help us make a difference for children this July—and beyond. |
|
Did you know that nearly 25,000 American youth are diagnosed with diabetes every year? |
July is National Make a Difference for Children Month—a time to raise awareness about the challenges children face and inspire action to make an impact in their lives. At the American Diabetes Association® (ADA), we’re committed to making a difference for kids who need us most, especially those living with or at risk for diabetes. |

"Since being diagnosed [at age 15], I have gone through very many rough patches. Sometimes I feel like I need to take care of myself perfectly so that I can have good health. Other times, I feel like I don’t care what happens to me and I just want to give up…Now that I’m 18 years old, I still struggle to take care of myself. I am much happier and take better care of my diabetes, but it really is a struggle at times"

But we can help children like Ulyssia. Thanks to donors like you, the ADA offers life-changing programs like Project Power for youth, ADA Camp, and Safe at School®—ensuring that children living with diabetes feel seen, supported, and empowered every step of the way. |
|
This month, and every month, you can be the reason a child feels hopeful by supporting the programs that help children living with diabetes thrive. |
