Dear DiabetesSister,
We have finally made it to the end of 2020, the year that tested our patience and endurance to the max. I, for one, am proud to say I have survived it, and will greet 2021 grateful to have accomplished so much when I could have lost all hope. I hope you have gained perspective as well, and are reflecting on how you also persevered this year.
At DiabetesSisters, we continued to grow and thrive and reach thousands more women living with diabetes. We will continue our work in 2021, virtually to start and then, when it's safe for our health, slowly reemerge to our in-person programs. Thank you for sticking with us, creating an even stronger Sisterhood, and sharing your triumphs and challenges along the way.
As we conclude the year, I wish to remind you that today is #GivingTuesday, a day when many provide support to organizations they hold near and dear to their hearts. I hope you will remember DiabetesSisters today, and include us in your giving. And if you cannot support us financially, know you can help in other ways: by sharing our materials, liking us on social media, designating us as a recipient through Amazon Smile, or participating in one of our programs.
Thank you, always, for being part of the DiabetesSisters family. May this final chapter of 2020 offer peace, love and health. See you in 2021!
In Sisterhood,
Anna
