NEWLY DIAGNOSED CELIAC DISEASE
"Does your child have a new Celiac Disease Diagnosis? And is your family already managing Type 1 Diabetes?"
Who is eligible
Families in Connecticut, Rhode Island, and western Massachusetts with children under 24 years old diagnosed with Celiac Disease within the past 60 days who also manage Type 1 Diabetes.
Support provided
Managing two chronic conditions creates real challenges: dietary restrictions, lifestyle changes and increased costs. We provide informational resources plus physical assistance kits, delivered in person.
Kits for economically disadvantaged families (supplies permitting) can include measuring cups, food storage containers, kitchen utensils, toaster ovens, backpacks, lunch containers and Gluten-Free Snack Boxes.
This program is powered by the CIGNA Community Ambassador Grant. Questions? Email samantha@elbowbumpkidinc.org.
