It’s great to see so many ADEA members who want to or are already supporting people living with diabetes in Ukraine right now. If you would like to get involved, we invite you to support one of the following two initiatives.
You may already know the Spare a Rose campaign by Insulin for Life. Every Valentine’s Day, the campaign encourages people to donate the money that they would otherwise spend on roses to charity. In support of people with diabetes in Ukraine, Spare a Rose has recently launched Spare a Rose for Ukraine.
Spare a Rose for Ukraine will run throughout March 2022, with all donations earmarked to support people living with diabetes in and out of Ukraine. Donations will be directed to Insulin for Life, a registered charity with over two decades of experience providing insulin and diabetes supplies to under-resourced countries, and responding to emergencies. Their international consortium and network in Europe, with partners in Ukraine and neighbouring countries, have supplies ready to go if and when and where needed.
The Type 1 Foundation is working together with a doctor who is helping Ukrainian children living with type 1 diabetes who are seeking refuge in Warsaw, Poland. The Foundation is preparing and sending diabetes-related and other care products. The care packages they are shipping to Warsaw contain items donated by people with diabetes. This includes:
To participate, you can ask people living with diabetes to donate diabetes products that are unused and that they no longer require.
You may also wish to partake in the 1000 paper crane project that Belinda Moore, one of our members and a CDE herself, is undertaking. The project asks people living with diabetes, CDEs, and their communities to craft paper cranes that include messages of hope and courage. You will be able to drop your paper cranes off at the drop-in centres Belinda and her team are setting up around Australia. Like the care products, they will be sent to Warsaw.
If you would like to get involved, please contact Belinda Moore or Ange McCaughley:
We would love to hear how ADEA members and other members of the Australian diabetes community is supporting people living with diabetes in Ukraine. If you are involved in or know of an Australian initiative that we should promote, please reach out to communications@adea.com.au
