A Wiregrass teen is on a mission to bring representation of chronic illnesses to bookshelves near you. This is all inspired by her older sister.
“Me and my sister realized that there isn’t a lot of books about children with type one diabetes, so we really wanted to close that gap,” Dolar said.“Lily has a condition called type one diabetes,” Dolar read aloud.“When I was an 11-year-old girl sitting in a hospital bed, I cried and I said, ‘God, why me?’ and now everyday He gives me my answer because I get to help change people’s lives and more than anything I get to change their outlook on their disease,” Wisdom, MSN, CRNP, FNP-C, said.
“As I was growing up, I had to learn to adapt to this different lifestyle and my family has always been my sister’s number one supporter and as I got older, I realized, ‘What about the people who don’t have that support group?’ So, ‘Let’s Be DiaBESTIES was born.’”This is why Dolar is working to educate, empower, and encourage those who have this diagnosis to know that they are not alone.
Over the past three years, Dolar volunteered countless hours and raised money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, the American Diabetes Association and Camp Seale Harris.
