Invisible Youth Network

There are an estimated 1.6 to 1.7 million homeless children under the age of 21 in the United States. Their mission is carried out through both
partner organizations and volunteers who take to the streets to find, stabilize and otherwise help homeless youth to improve their quality of life.Invisible Youth Network reaches past the streets and lends itself to deterrence, research, resources, seminars, training and workshops that are provided to the communities and via the Internet. Despite thier motto Advocating for America's Youth, their endeavors are focused on all homeless youth with no regard to their geographic location. The Invisible Youth Network envisions better lives for children who cannot see it themselves.

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that strikes children and adults suddenly, and can be fatal. Until a cure is found, people with type 1 diabetes have to test their blood sugar and give themselves insulin injections multiple times or use a pump – each day and every day for the rest of their lives. Even with that intensive care, insulin is not a cure for diabetes, nor does it prevent its eventual and devastating complications, which may include kidney failure, blindness, heart disease, stroke, and amputation.
