Dear Friends,

You may not realize that of the 16 million diagnosed cases in America, right now there are over 68,000 adults and children in Nebraska affected by diabetes, with another 2,500 expected to be diagnosed in the Midlands over the next year. Although we are a nationally recognized non-profit agency, DECM is not affiliated with United Way/CHAD and receives no funding from the American Diabetes Association or the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation. That's why your financial support is so important.

Thank you.

Joan Heiser
Executive Director
