How JDRF can help
Send a Bag of Hope
A free backpack filled with a comprehensive collection of educational and support materials including Rufus the teddy bear with diabetes, a blood sugar meter, children’s books and a DVD, a carbohydrate counting book, and more.
Connect with a Mentor
Mentors are volunteers who provide one-on-one support to families and individuals who are newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Mentors give comfort, answer non-medical questions, provide resources and share stories. Matches may be parent-to-parent, child-to-child, adult-to-adult or adult-to-child and are carefully made based on location and situation, such as a child’s grade in school, age at diagnosis, specific issues, etc. You are welcome to request a certain type of match that you feel best fits your needs. The relationship may consist of phone calls, emails, or face-to-face meetings - it is up to the Mentor and you to decide
