On July 21, 2005, our son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. We're hoping for the cure and will do everything we can to raise money to expedite it. I opened the Sugarcube Society shop on Etsy in 2007 with the help from crafters and artists around the world in order to raise money to donate to JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation). All proceeds minus Etsy fees goes to JDRF (jdrf.org).
