This Giving Tuesday, Your Generosity Can Change a Life

A Season of Gratitude and Connection

In this season of thankfulness, we’re reminded of the power of community and the impact that generosity can have on the lives of those navigating type 1 diabetes — and how thankful we are for every member of this community.

Gratitude isn’t reserved for a single season at Touched by Type 1. It’s woven into every D-Box packed, every event we host, every resource we create, and every moment we spend supporting individuals and families facing the daily realities of type 1 diabetes. Every day, we meet people whose resilience inspires us. Every day, we see how connection, understanding, and kindness make a real difference. And every day, we’re grateful for the support that makes this work possible.

What Generosity Means to Our Community

This season offers a moment to pause and reflect on what generosity truly means. It’s more than a donation. It’s the act of helping someone feel seen. It’s the comfort of letting the newly diagnosed know they’re not alone. It’s the encouragement that reminds someone with type 1 that they are strong, capable, and supported. It’s the quiet reassurance that community exists — even on the hardest days.

Our mission has always been rooted in that belief: that no one should face type 1 diabetes alone. And because of the generosity of people who believe in this work, that promise becomes real again and again.

Your Generosity Opens the Door

Your support allows us to continue saying “yes” — yes to more d-boxes shipped, yes to more individuals reached, and yes to expanding the programs that help people feel connected and thrive in their daily lives with type 1 diabetes.

When you give, you are directly fueling the education, programs, events, and resources that Touched by Type 1 provides at no cost. You’re helping us support those at every stage of their journey — from the newly diagnosed to those navigating type 1 for decades. You’re helping us grow a community where strength is shared, hope is renewed, and no one is left to navigate this disease on their own.

How to Make an Impact This Giving Tuesday

This Giving Tuesday, we invite you to join us in strengthening that mission. Your contribution, no matter the amount, makes a meaningful and lasting impact.
