Story

Maria is a single mom doing everything she can to care for her three children. She works hard, but rising costs make it difficult to keep healthy food on the table — and her family’s needs are even greater because one of her children has Type 1 diabetes.

Managing diabetes requires careful meal planning, with diabetic-friendly foods that often cost much more than basic groceries. On top of everyday expenses like rent, gas, and utilities, the added cost of keeping her child healthy has become overwhelming.

Right now, Maria needs a little help to stock her kitchen with nutritious groceries to make sure her diabetic child has the foods necessary to stay safe and well.

Your support means more than food on the table. It means peace of mind for a mother and the gift of health for her children.

While all children grow at their own pace, some children experience delays in development. Special health conditions may also affect development. Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) offers information, support and referral services to help at no cost to families. ECSE programs provide supports and services to infants, toddlers, and preschool children with a delay or disability and their families.
