Help for Missouri Diabetics

Type 1 and LADA
1

Missouri Diabetics need your help. The medical storehouse there as well as the hospital have been demolished. Do you have any extra supplies, still in packaging, that you can donate?

The JDRF Ozarks Development Coordinator will receive ANY diabetic supplies and get them to the T1’s in Joplin MO IMMEDIATELY. Look around your house. Do you have an extra box of anything or two that you can ship to her?

Reminders:

  1. Insulin MUST BE SHIPPED COLD!
  2. EVERYTHING must be in original SEALED packaging.

Some things to check for are: test strips, alcohol swabs, pen needles, ketone strips, any pump site or reservoirs, lancing devices/lancets, syringes, or anything else you can think of. You might even call your Endo and see if they have some samples that are close to expiration that they might throw in.

Here is the shipping address:

Jennifer Conter-Jones
Development Coordinator, JDRF Ozarks
560 Peacock Street
Rogersville, MO 65742

Thank you! Feel free to share this with other groups if you like.

I’ve got some unopened boxes of minimed pump supplies… I’d like to send them. Since I got my omnipod, I was wondering what I would do with my extra supplies. Thank you so much for helping me find a good home for them! :slight_smile:

Thanks for posting this Jan! I think about the Joplin people a lot and will continue praying for them. This is a great way for us to help the T1’s there.

I have lots of lancets, and atleast 6 vials of Humalog insulin I could send. I may have some other stuff I can send as well.

Wonderful, Chris! As long as they’re in sealed packages, they’re good to go. :slight_smile:

I have 6 unopened boxes of senors and about 3 or 4 boxes of silhouette infusion sets I can send if you’re still taking donations.

So nice of you, Trista!
