🌍 World Diabetes Day 🌍

One of our Camp Simcha dads recently shared something powerful with us:

“I remember when my son was diagnosed, the doctor told him he would be able to do almost everything like before… ‘You may not be able to be a pilot, but everything else’.”

He then saw someone share their story of becoming a pilot even though they had diabetes. He shared just how wonderful it was to know that if you want something badly enough, it is possible.

✨At Camp Simcha, we support children with more than 50 different medical conditions, including Type 1 diabetes.✨

We understand that a diagnosis doesn’t just affect the child, it impacts the entire family. The routines, the worries, the learning curve, the sleepless nights.

That’s why we are here: to provide practical, emotional and therapeutic support so no family faces these challenges alone.

✨ Due to growing demand, we created our dedicated Diabetes Community of Support ~ a warm and welcoming group where parents of children with Type 1 diabetes can connect with others who truly “get it.”

It’s a space to share knowledge, experiences and encouragement, as well as attend informative talks and events designed to empower and uplift.
