Improving Care For People in our Communities
Brianna’s Story
Thirteen-year-old Brianna Murphy doesn’t allow diabetes to run her life. Brianna has Type 1 Diabetes and visits the Diabetic Clinic at Northside General Hospital regularly. Her condition doesn’t stop her from playing basketball and soccer or from competing in dance competitions. Brianna is able to enjoy sleepovers thanks to an insulin pump that she received three years ago. Since she had her pump she can spend more time with her friends and she doesn’t have to carry needles with her- it has really changed her life for the better. Read more →

Through Melissa's initative, she raised an amazing $200, and Tanya matched her donation dollar for dollar, bringing their total contribution to $400!
Their kindness will help ensure that individuals experiencing hair loss—no matter the reason—can access a high-quality synthetic wig through our Wig Bank.
