T1F Bushfire Appeal

Right now our country is in crisis. Fire is ravening our land all over the map. We are watching with disbelief and receiving phone calls about people displaced from their home from direct fire threat or necessary evacuation.

Type1 is not a disease that takes a break for any reason. We’ve been contacted during this devastating time to help families access much needed Type1 supplies and equipment to manage their disease. To help families who have had to quickly evacuate their homes and now find pharmacies and hospitals in their displaced locations are low or completely out of the medical supplies they require.

Like all of you, the Type1 Foundation is desperate to do all we can to support families affected by the bushfires in both Victoria and NSW. Not just now, but also ongoing support for families in crisis.

We are working closely with local and interstate organisations to support families with Type1 in these communities.

We’ve set up two options to support Type 1 Families in need. Drop off Type 1 medical supplies and equipment and/or Donate Funds to a dedicated T1F Bushfire fundraising appeal.
