You are still in the Quilting-Dee website, however, you are able to make a donation directly to  IPump.org, Inc.'s program QD Quilts for Children Newly Diagnosed with Diabetes through our site.  We do NOT receive any compensation or portion of your donations for IOH or the Quilting Dee.  Quilts and materials that are donated are sewn into quilts by volunteers of all sewing skill levels.  The quilts are given away free to children with diabetes.  IPump.org, Inc. is a nonprofit, California Public Benefits Corporation.   If you would like to contribute to IPump.org, Inc. through their own website, go there now.

Love to quilt?  Love kids with diabetes?  We love volunteers!

If you are a quilt shop owner, a school, church, or other group who would like to make a quilt for a child with diabetes, please contact program director for special information about how to get started.

An important message
from Islets of Hope

We are not professional fundraisers and receive no money, services, or special considerations for raising money for diabetes causes, nor have we been asked by other organizations to raise funds on their behalf.  We just do it.  Why?  We love quilting.  We love kids.  And we HATE diabetes.  

As a business owner with diabetes, and the parent of a child with diabetes, Islets of Hope's founder Lahle Wolfe believes she has a personal responsibility to give some- thing back to the diabetes community. The Quilting Dee is just one of the many ways in which Islets of Hope is making a difference in the lives of others living with diabetes.

How Islets of Hope helps

Donate $$$ to IPump.org, Inc.'s
Quilts for Children Newly Diagnosed with Diabetes
or to any of their financial assistance programs

Click our logo above to go to a "Donate" button on our website

IPump.org, Inc., a nonproft, California Public Benefits Corporation, accepts donated fabric, quilt tops, blocks, finished quilts. and sewing supplies.  But even with donated materials, we still have to purchase batting, shipping materials, and pay for the cost of shipping.  We also send free diabetes information along with our quilts and need help covering the costs of printing and the cost of maintaining this website.

Our quilts are sewn by volunteers so none of your contribution will go to line anyone's pocket.  Every donation you make will be used to help get quilts to children with diabetes.  It costs IPump.org approximately $10-$15 for every quilt sent to a child.  That is what we pay to cover the cost of shipping, mailing envelopes, printed material, and batting for each quilt.  Even with donations of fabric, were it not for the generous financial donations from others this program would not be possible.

If you would like to contribute financially to IPump.org, Inc. use the donation button on our home page (www.ipump.org) or send your tax deductible gift (made payable to IPump.org,Inc.) to:

IPump.org, Inc.
2250 Aylssum Avenue
Upland, CA  91784-7384

Don't think any amount is too small, every little bit helps.  Quilts are made one stitch at a time; our program is funded by one caring heart at a time... and even a donation of $10.00 will cover most of our costs associated with shipping one quilt!

It is important to note that neither Islets of Hope nor the Quilting Dee receive any special consideration, services, or compensation for helping us with our quilt program.  IOH, like IPump.org, Inc. simply believes in helping others in need.  You can be assured that any donation you make to IPump.org, Inc. (through our site, the mail, or through this site) will go completely towards running our financial assistance programs and the QD Quilts for Children program.

Thank you, for your kindness, and for helping us to keep on touching lives and warmy little hearts with a comfy quilt!
