THANK YOU FOR YOUR DONATION!

When my older sister was diagnosed with type one diabetes in 2017, it turned our world upside down. There is no cure. Those who have the disease must take insulin daily in order to survive. It’s a relentless, 24/7 disease.

In my family we face challenges head on, so we began thinking about how we could help make a difference. My parents immediately began making donations to support research for a cure. At only 13 years old and not having much money, I felt helpless.

When I learned that there are a growing number of people who have diabetes in the United States and worldwide who don’t have access to insulin or who can’t afford it, I knew I had to do something. Without insulin, these people will die. If I could get a lot of people to donate just $1, then we could start making big change and save lives.

I started the nonprofit Dollar Donations to encourage and enable more first-time givers and small-dollar donors to drive real and lasting change – even if they don’t have a lot to give. We’re beginning by raising money for life-saving medicine and research for type one diabetes, but we’ll be adding more nonprofit partners and putting our collective dollars to good work for many more worthy causes.

Let’s show the world the power of uniting small-dollar donors for change!
