Huge thanks to the amazing Gales Creek Camp community


In just over two weeks, you raised over $22,700 for the kids of GCC!


Thanks to the wonderful Martin family for matching every donation made, all the way up to $10,000! Their impact this year has been tremendous, and on the future of camp, immeasurable.


Thanks also to the anonymous donor (father of two 1980s campers) who reached out as we neared that $20,000 mark to pledge to match another $1,000 in donations. You inspired even more donors!

Hope-Mongering parent/caregiver support sessions


This month:

Get to know Type 1 Unbound!


Type 1 Unbound is a new non-profit that is hosting regular youth-focused meet-ups for the Portland/Vancouver area T1D community. These events include adventurous things like water skiing and rock climbing, family outings like trips to museums and the pumpkin patch, and low-key things like playing board games, Lego, and doing art workshops. There is something for every kind of kid.


Type 1 Unbound sees these events as a way for kids to build new life-long friendships, be encouraged by other kids who know what it's like, and for families in our community to have more opportunities to bond and share the weight.


Join us to learn more about Type 1 Unbound and ask questions. Check out the events that they have coming up at Type1Unbound.org.


Join the conversation November 21 at 7pm!


Hope Mongering is always free!

About Hope-Mongering:

Each month we recruit an array of key voices to host a series of conversations: parents, young adults who grew up with T1D, health coaches, educators, dietitians, T1D doctors and nurses, and of course the GCC summer camp crew. It's a magic formula for conversation on raising a young person with T1D. We'd love for you to join us and add your voice, or just sit back and listen. Feel free to bring topics or questions.
