Birdie is five, funny, and fiercely determined. She’s also living with Type 1 Diabetes - which is a fancy way of saying her pancreas clocked out early with zero notice. Rude.

If you’re new to T1D, here’s the quick version: there are no days off. No sleeping in. No “just one bite won’t hurt”. Blood sugar is a full-time job, and somehow Birdie keeps getting the night shift.

A diabetic alert dog can help change that.

These dogs are trained to detect blood sugar changes before technology even catches them. Think: early warning system with paws and puppy dog eyes.

Which means more stable days, calmer nights, and more moments where Birdie gets to be a kid.

We’re raising $21,000 to bring home her D.A.D. - a dog that alerts, comforts and could one day, save her life.
