Help Frankies family live an easier life

One of my best friends 2 year old son Frankie was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in December 2020. It’s been a scary journey and sadly the government doesn’t help to fund the expensive equipment that would greatly improve Frankie’s day-day life. Being so young, it’s hard for him to be monitored, to eat what he needs, to burn off carbs when his levels are too high, or to tell his Family when his levels are too low. Being low is extremely dangerous and could lead to a comatose state, with the necessary equipment steph and her partner can better keep an eye on everything as the monitor checks his levels for them, which means less finger pricking and a more restful sleep knowing he’s safer.

Such a small person doesn’t understand what’s going on and why he now has to do all these new things, this family have already been through so much and anything that can make their lives easier is something I wish I could make happen. It’s a yearly investment but I’d like to help make a start in bettering Frankie’s future. Any donation no matter how small will help immensely, every cent counts.

The equipment needed checks his BGL without needing figure pricks, it will alert his parents when he’s about to have a hypo (when your blood glucose level (also called blood sugar) is too low), and update them on their phones with how he is. This particular device Is the only one that is made for his age group, the other one starts at age 4, this one starts at age 2.
