PumpedNM is Here for You
PumpedNM is dedicated to empowering New Mexican children with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) by providing them the essential resources they need to thrive. As a committed 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, we stand by the belief that every child is entitled to a vibrant and fulfilling life. Our core mission is to alleviate the financial burden of insulin pumps for families, ensuring every child in need has access to this life-enhancing technology. At PumpedNM, we see insulin pumps not just as medical devices, but as keys to unlocking a better quality of life for children with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D).
The Inspiration Behind PUMPEDNM
The journey of PumpedNM began with a personal story — a story that resonates with many families facing the challenges of T1D. When Liam, the son of our founder, was diagnosed with T1D at the tender age of ten, it was a turning point. The initial diagnosis, mistaken for a thyroid issue, unveiled a lifelong journey with T1D, marked by daily struggles with multiple insulin injections. Liam's transition from syringe to insulin pen, and eventually to an insulin pump, highlighted the transformative impact of having the right support and technology. It was this profound change in Liam's life that ignited the spark to establish PumpedNM, with a vision to ensure no child in New Mexico has to navigate T1D without the best possible care.
PumpedNM is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based out of Albuquerque, NM.
Transforming Lives Through Insulin Pumps
Insulin pumps represent more than just a medical advancement; they symbolize freedom, control, and hope for children grappling with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). The story of Liam's transformation from multiple daily injections to a more manageable regimen with an insulin pump underscores the profound difference this technology can make. It's not just about reducing the number of injections; it's about enhancing self-esteem, simplifying diabetes management, and most importantly, improving health outcomes. Our goal at PumpedNM is to make this technology accessible to every child in need, ensuring they have the opportunity to experience a similar transformation.
Advocacy and Support for the T1D Community
At PumpedNM, our commitment extends beyond financial support for insulin pumps. We are fervent advocates for the Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) community in New Mexico, championing the cause of equitable access to advanced diabetes care technology. We believe that socioeconomic status should never be a barrier to receiving the best possible treatment. Our advocacy efforts are focused on raising awareness, fostering community support, and driving systemic changes that benefit all individuals affected by Type 1 Diabetes (T1D).
