The Diabetic Kitchen:
Diabetes affects 8.3% of Americans. 27% of Americans do not know they have this disease. The mission of the American Diabetic Association is to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of the people affected. The Diabetic Kitchen is a support & management group for people with Diabetes. This support group offers support to people and also teaches them to manage diabetes. A support group as the Diabetic Kitchen is an important key to help someone struggling with this disease. On May 24, 2012 the website was launched with their D & T (Dine & Talk) concept. They have monthly meetings, prepare a diabetic friendly meal and discuss their thoughts, ideas and concerns with others. The idea for The Diabetic Kitchen was the idea of Nathaniel Mitchell Sr., a type 2 Diabetic. When he was diagnosed he choose to rise up and use the disease as a tool to reach others suffering.

National Autism Association:
Since 2003, the National Autism Association has created and implemented direct-assistance programs for the growing number of families affected by autism. Along with these services, NAA provides autism research funding, ongoing advocacy, support and education. Because we are a parent-led non-profit organization, our objectives and resources center on:
Although autism affects more children than any other childhood disorder, it is still the least funded. As awareness increases about autism, our hope is that resources will also increase. Until that time, we will continue to expand our programs so that we may provide support to as many autism families as possible. For more information please visit: http://nationalautismassociation.org
