I sometimes complain about how little money I have. I often complain about how much my diabetes supplies costs. In reality, I know I have more than enough. Some people don’t.
A coalition of diabetes bloggers has come together to create the campaign “Spare a Rose, Save A Child” to raise support for the International Diabetes Federation’s Life for a Child program. The initiative is simple: buy one less rose and give the money you save to Life for a Child. Think about all the costs associated with managing diabetes: the insulin, the test strips, the meter, the lancets, the doctor’s appointments and consider making a small donation this Valentine’s Day. You can learn more about Life for a Child and donate to the program at the International Diabetes Federation website.

You are welcome. I want to learn to live in a way where I view what I have not as something that I need, but as something entrusted to me so that I can give to people who don’t have enough. It’s a hard shift in thinking to make, but this campaign is helping. I especially love that it’s something that individuals are doing, not an organization.
