Check out Kate in The Post & Courier!
Kate and her family have successfully raised $19,000 to bring Sprinkles home. Now they’re raising money for another child who desperately needs a diabetic alert dog.
To all appearances Kate looks like any other 7-year-old with her blonde hair and bright gap-toothed smile and her penchant for dressing up like a princess. But unlike most 7-year-olds, Kate suffers from Type I Diabetes with life-threatening sugar highs that make her hyperactive and emotional and sugar lows that could send her spiraling into a diabetic coma…. A specially trained service dog could save her life.
Diabetic Alert Dogs are highly trained purebreds able to detect the beginning of a sugar high or low long before their companions actually exhibit symptoms. Because of the intense training these service dogs go through and continue to go through after they leave the breeder, they are very expensive.
Please help a child with Type I diabetes by donating a few dollars and spreading the word.
