"We were in the PIMCU after my daughter was diagnosed with diabetes and – as a mom – it was terrifying. With the help of the amazing Children's Hospital staff and CMN-funded services, we felt so supported. Our lives changed with a flip of a switch. We needed insulin and medication immediately, which is where the patient assistance fund came in. And CMN was key in helping us get our supplies that day."
