Another warm quilt sent up north to keep a child warm! We were pleased to hear from Cherly, mom to Emily was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes on 09/23/2004. Emily is now age 4.

Her mom writes:

"We live in Canada. Our daughter was diagnosed at 1-1/2 years old. She went on the insulin pump and it has been very good. We are so happy to hear that organizations like this make her feel like people really care about diabetes."

We do care Cheryl! And we know all you reading our webpage care too. Please remember IPump.org when you think of organizations to support. Shipping quilts is a very expensive program but one we really feel benefits children.
