Ruthie was diagnosed in 2020 with Type 1 diabetes at the age of 7. During her hospital stay and throughout all the shots and changes, she has shown such bravery and understanding, especially for a child so young. This diagnosis has changed her life and our family's life, but she has taken this challenge head on by learning about her treatments and participating in her own care. This isn't the first time that Ruthie has overcome a challenge in life. When she was born she weighed only 1 pound and 12 ounces. Ruthie is a fighter! Camp Seale Harris is a camp for children just like Ruthie with Type 1. By attending, she will have the chance to meet potentional life long friends with the same diagnosis as her and have fun just being a kid. Most importantly, she will get to learn more in depth about her care, such as self administering insulin shots, which will help her be an independent young woman as she grows older. Ruthie is an excellent student, is active in her church, plays piano, reads, and she enjoys arts and crafts. This will mean a lot to Ruthie, especially after getting to experience the fun of Camp in 2021- 2024. If you are able, we would love your monetary gift towards such a great camp experience. If you are unable, as always we appreciate your thoughts and prayers. Thank you for your support!
