My friend is diabetic and in danger of going blind. Her name is Lianna, and we have been friends since elementary school. For the past several months I have been helping her pay for insulin since she is unemployed and has been so far unable to get medical assistance for this life saving drug. She is currently fighting to get Medicaid, but the process is taking too long for her to wait without seeking medical help. She has an appointment in July to see about getting Medicaid but by then it could be too late. She desperately needs to be seen by a doctor ASAP before the retinopathy progresses and she loses her sight.
I’m hoping that this will reach someone that is in a place where they would be able to help.
Her PayPal is sanfterdamon713@aim.com
She lives in Wyoming and I live in Maryland and it sucks because I can’t be there for her right now physically (the last time we saw each other was in 2015. That was the year she lost her dad, so I flew her out to visit and so we could attend Gridlock DC together). I just feel so helpless and I’m trying to do everything I can for her. I understand if you can’t donate, but if you could reblog that would mean the world. Thank you so much. ❤

For those of you who know me, you know this is EXCEEDINGLY close to my heart. Not only do I remember meeting Lianna at gridlock, my husband was diabetic and I lost him in 09 to diabetes.
Retinopathy is no joke. Please, please if you can do anything to help. If you can’t, signal boost.
really struggling right now. Ive always been fat except right after doing jenny craig from 4-6th grade. (yep I begged to do a diet like that while still a CHILD)
In my early 30s I had finally accepted living in the body I’ve got. Was finally happy in my skin. then I got pregnant again, lost the baby, got pregnant again and had gestational diabetes. I’ve gained even more weight, depression isn’t helping, and I have to go in for a prediabetes class today. I’m bitter that my family doesn’t have diabetes, everyone is fat and when I had found self love I feel like I suddenly got whomped with what society thinks fat people deserve. My cholesteral: fine. My blood pressure? low side of good, but probably diabetic or leaning towards it. I can’t help feeling like now doctors are going to take away all the food I like just like my mom did when I was getting too fat as a child. fuck this.
