Zipper Pouch Giveaway for Diabetes Awareness


I've been thinking about holding another giveaway 
(but wasn't really sure what I wanted to make) 
and I wanted to do something to 
promote Diabetes Awareness, not necessarily a handmade thing,
 just something.


November is National Diabetes Month,


so in preparation, I'm holding this giveaway as my way to spread awareness of this disease.
I have someone in my life with diabetes, and it sucks. Plain and simple.



Did you know diabetes kills more Americans each year than breast cancer and AIDS combined?





Did you know recent estimates project that as many as 1 in 3 American adults will have diabetes in 2050?

Did you know 1 in 4 who have it don’t know it?

Awareness about any cause or concern, is the first step to change.

  5. I have CVID (common variable immunodeficiency). It's not known by most people. Awareness would be amazing. Zebras are kind of the mascot, so something zebra themed.
