ABOUT THE SOPHIA FOUNDATION

On April 25, 2014, our daughter, Sophia, was diagnosed with T1D at only three years of age. Since her diagnosis, our lives as parents have changed tremendously, but Sophia’s life has changed the most. She endures the pain of at least four insulin shots and eight finger blood tests per day. Watching our little girl endure this pain is agonizing for us as parents.

At only three and a half years old, Sophia is a very brave, strong little girl. The constant attention this disease demands is overwhelming to us all. It requires management 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and there are no days off. From the beginning of Sophia’s diagnosis, JDRF has been instrumental in helping us understand and deal with T1D, with their support, compassion, and understanding of this disease.
