Through fundraising efforts and generosity of friends and family, we have raised funds to offer scholarships for two of our retreats. The recipients of these scholarships have expressed profound gratitude, emphasizing how much they have learned and the invaluable opportunity to connect with others living with type one. 

​

In Costa Rica we had the pleasure of meeting a Costa Rican family and their daughter, Nadelka, who lives with Type 1 Diabetes. They joined us for an evening filled with food, laughter, and joy. It marked Nadelka's first experience being surrounded by a group of people with T1D, and she was warmly embraced by everyone present. Two of our participants independently raised nearly $800 to assist Nadelka's family in purchasing her FreeStyle Libre glucose monitor, which is considerably expensive in Costa Rica.

  In the future we hope to invite Costa Ricans living with Type 1 Diabetes, as well as their healthcare providers, to participate in our retreat so they may learn cutting-edge education in diabetes management. Your support can help us reach more people in Costa Rica and make a meaningful difference in their lives. 

We aspire to have a diabetes educator, mental health counselor, dietitian, and fitness expert at every retreat. The demand for a mental health counselor is particularly high, reflecting the critical need for comprehensive support. However, we currently lack the funds to turn our vision into fruition.  That's why we need you! Please support our mission and donate today!
