The Payton Family
Our Story
Hi Everyone, My beautiful and outgoing 12 year old daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes a little over 4 years ago at the age of 7 years old. Our lives forever changed that day! Each and every day is completely different from the day before, regarding her blood sugar numbers and we are constantly on our toes to keep up with changes regarding her insulin dosages.
She is the bravest and strongest person I have ever met. She has not let having Type 1 Diabetes slow her down for a minute. I could not be prouder of my daughter and I feel so lucky God chose me to be her mom!
I am a single mother and had to stop working in order to be available to my daughter on any day and at any time. Between the co-pays, diabetes supplies, gas to drive over 2 hours to her endocrinologist, diabetes devices, and keeping up with our household bills, etc. I barely have enough money left over to pay my own bills, buy groceries, among several other things.
If you feel it in your heart to donate, no amount is to small.
God bless and thank you! Taylor Payton
Family Updates
I just wanted to give a quick little update on my daughter Sara. Her birthday is next month in May and she will be 13 years old and getting ready to head into 8th grade in August. She just recently made the team for volleyball at her school so she's been very excited about that!
She still has her good days and bad days dealing with her type 1 diabetes. I'm still struggling as a single mom to pay for medical devices, supplies, food, and our utilities.
If you find it in her your heart to donate even just $1, it will add up and I will be so very thankful for any donations big or small! 💟
Thank you,
Taylor Payton
