## Resource

Mason, a young Type 1 diabetes patient in Tennessee, is raising funds for a diabetic alert dog to enhance his safety. After two years of training, these dogs can detect blood sugar fluctuations, especially crucial at night. The cost, ranging from $20,000 to $40,000, is not covered by insurance. Masons family has raised over $3,000 through a raffle, with tickets priced at $10 each or $120 for a dozen. The raffle drawing is set for early July, and theyll continue fundraising at McEwen Northside in Franklin on June 13, 2026. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
