People don’t think twice about turning on the water.
It’s just there.
But insulin…
the thing millions need to stay alive…
comes with a price tag.
In the U.S., about 2.1 million people live with Type 1 Diabetes, including 300,000 children… kids just like mine.
Every year, over 20,000 more children are diagnosed.
And they grow up…
because this doesn’t go away.
Right now, there’s a bill—the INSULIN Act of 2026—that could cap insulin at $35 a month.
But it hasn’t passed yet.
So families are still doing the math.
Still stressing.
Still trying to afford something they cannot live without.
This isn’t optional.
It’s survival. 💙
If this matters to you, reach out to your Senators.
Because families like ours are depending on it.
