Our Mission:

Support Diabetics

Our goal is to give diabetics in need the supplies they need to survive. We receive unwanted/unused t1 and t2 diabetic supplies and get them in the hands of those who can’t obtain them. We are diabetics helping diabetics. We are the Embrace Foundation. We are a movement. We are spreading awareness, creating community, and getting supplies in the right hands.

Our Impact (in short)

  • packages sent out to diabetics in need so far

  • packages sent out nationally EVERY WEEK

The Embrace Foundation

Our mission is to spread awareness, create community, and get supplies to diabetics who need them. A recent report found that 1 in 4 diabetics have limited their insulin intake because of cost. In 2017, four people passed away due to rationing their insulin. Four more passed away in 2018, and five more in 2019. This doesn’t sound like a large number but any death due to rationing a medication that should be free is one too many. We plan to end insulin rationing. We plan to make Type 1 Diabetics feel confident and comfortable with this chronic illness by being fully knowledgable on the best ways to manage it. We plan to create a community so strong that every diabetic will know that they have a support system to lean on, ask for advice, and help each other get through the trials that come with Type 1 Diabetes until a cure is found.

Our Impact

Since we started the Embrace Foundation in 2018, we have helped over 1,800 diabetics get their life-sustaining medication and supplies, including insulin, meters, test strips, lancets, infusion sites, and more. We’ve formed a thriving community on TikTok with 90 K followers, and shipped throughout the U.S., and to Canada, the U.K., Australia, and more. Most importantly we forged personal connections with every person we talked to. In the coming years, we hope that we can expand our impact to help as many people as possible.
