Talk about support!! Back in September, I started selling our team t-shirts to raise money for the JDRF. We had people participating in our Walk this year who wanted an opportunity to buy shirts, and since I had to place an order anyway, I thought we would reach out to the community to see if anyone else wanted them. Well, boy did they! I had emailed teachers & staff at her school last year (MEC) and her school this year (BEC) to see if anyone was interested in purchasing shirts – the response we got was awesome. In total, we sold about 30 shirts to friends, teachers & staff from school. In addition to selling t-shirts, the school also had a “Dress Down for Diabetes” day – teachers & staff were able to wear jeans to school for a donation to the JDRF.
We went into school early yesterday morning to get a group
picture of everyone at BEC who were wearing their “Savanna’s Angels” t-shirts. Here are all the wonderful and amazing
teachers, staff, and friends showing their support. There were a few teachers
and friends who couldn’t be in the picture, so the number of army green shirts
walking around BEC yesterday was actually more than what you see here!! Talk about feeling LOVED...
Savanna’s old school, MEC, also had a dress down day earlier this week -- the principal there sent me a wonderful picture of the teachers and
staff wearing their jeans & their “Savanna’s Angels” shirts:
Her library teacher missed the group picture, but got a
“selfie” with Savanna:
Savanna also has a T1D buddy at school who showed his
support for finding a cure for T1D by wearing his Savanna’s Angels t-shirt as
well!
There are days and times when you wonder if your child is
getting the care they need when they are not with you – if the people she is
with will be attentive and understanding to what she is dealing with…after
seeing the support yesterday morning, I know for a fact that when she is not with
me, Savanna is 100% cared for, supported, and loved by all the teachers and
staff at her school! I also know that she has great friends who are open to
understanding and learning about Type 1 Diabetes…which couldn’t make a Mom’s
heart any happier!
Until there’s a cure…xoxo
