Help a Diabetic. Donate Diabetes Supplies.
Donate Diabetes Supplies
There are many Diabetics in the United States without Medical insurance. Think about how much Diabetic Supplies cost. There is Insulin, Glucometers, Test strips, Ketone strips, Syringes, Insulin pumps, Reservoirs, Infusion sets, Tapes, Wipes, etc. This doesn't even include the cost of Doctors & tests. Diabetes is not a cheap disease!!! Just to give you some idea of how much these supplies cost. A bottle of Novolog Insulin sells at Target Pharmacy for $60.39. Some diabetics use 2 or more vials a month. A box of 100 One touch Ultra test strips sells for $84.99 at Target Pharmacy. These were the cheapest prices I could find. Insulin pump supplies are very expensive as well. A box of 12 infusion sets costs about $130.00.
So I thought it would be incredible if some of us with extra supplies could share them with those that need them. If you have extra supplies that you would like to share with others you can notify me by emailing me at Kimberly Advent
If you are someone who is in need of supplies then please email me Kimberly Advent. Tell me what supplies you need the most. I will start a list of what is needed.
If you don't have extra supplies to donate but, would still like to help I will also take donations of money. I can then buy the supplies that are needed. All donations are appreciated!!!
I am not a Non profit organization. I am just one person trying to help diabetics that cannot afford supplies. I cannot give you a receipt for your taxes. Unfortunately only a Non profit can do that.
After much trial & error I have finally found that the best way to get supplies out to people is to take out the middle man. That would be Me. I am now putting people who have supplies together with people who need supplies. People who have supplies are sending directly to people who need them & are getting them faster. So I am going to put together a list on this page of people who need supplies & what they need. If you have those supplies you will write to me & I will give you their mailing information. Write to me at KimberlyDAdvent@aol.com
Thank you!!!

A note from Kimberly
Hello everyone. I need your help.
As you can imagine a website like this costs money to maintain. Of course it is very important to me that all the information on this website remains free. So my husband came up with some ways for my website to make some money to pay for the upkeep costs. Plus pay for shipping & packaging material costs for my donated diabetes supplies to be sent out to needy people. That can get rather expensive. Click on the ad below & get the Free Recipes Toolbar. We get .50 cents for every one that signs up.
 
Fifty cents each doesn't sound like very much but with more than a thousand visitors a day just 10% of you can make a huge difference! This website is very important to me. I really appreciate your help more than I can say.
Thank You !
A plea for help
Below I am adding letters from people who write asking for help. If you have any supplies that would help these people I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you so much,
Kimberly
People will not remember what you said nor what you did
But they will remember how you made them feel.
To the World, You may be One Person,
but to One Person, You may be the World!
May your day be blessed with lots of smiles and sunshine..
Hello Kimberly,

I was also wondering if there is some type of generic test strips that would be usable also. Any information you could give would be appreciated.
Thank You

Hello, We recently became in desperate need of help after 14 years of dealing with diabetes. My wife is type 1 and has been doing a great job of controlling her blood sugars since she started using the pump. We recently found out she was pregnant shortly after I fell and broke my back. I am unable to work or provide for our new family for 7 months now with at least 6 months to go. My wife has obtained HIPPA to help herself out but the costs are devastating. We are searching for programs that we qualify for and looking for help. Thats how we came across you. Anything you could help out with would be great. She uses the DELTEC COZMO. Please respond. Thank You.
My husband has Type 1 Diabetes and has since he was 14 and he is now 33. I have lost my job and I was the one that had the job with benefits. My husband is trying to see if he could get some benefits through his job, but in the meantime we need help with his diabetic supplies. I have been looking all over the internet for help when I came to your story about your daughter. Sounds like our lives are alot alike. It is has been a challenge with his Diabetes and the medicine is so very expensive with and without benefits. Do you still help people who are in need of medicine? If so, we would be so gracious for your help.
The medicine that he uses currently is Medisense Precision Xtra Blood Glucose Test Strips for his meter and then he uses Lantus and the Humalog Pens. Let me know if you need more specific information on his medicine?
i have type 2 diabetes with neuropathy and i am unable to work. the doctors
office will not let me have any more insulin. i paid them $20.00 today for
1 bottle of insulin. i have no job. i was in the navy and was discharged
with less than honorable discharge. i am trying to get that changed but
right now i do not qualify for any state funded programs of any kind.
Dear Kimberly,
i stumbled across this website while i eassearching for any help or resources on
diabetic supplies. i have been struggling with this for a while but the cost is
so high forthe supplies it's overwhelming. I am currently using actos 30 mg for
my meds but am trying to get it changed to a generic med that will be covered by
the new program that Sam's and Walmart just started for generic meds only $4.
but the testing strips are not on this program. i have a freestyle flash tester
and the strips without ins are $100 @ month do you have any information or links
where i can see about getting them 1/2 off or free or any help at all? i am at
wits end.
