About CR3

Charles Ray III was diagnosed with diabetes at a time when he could not afford the supplies he needed to take care of himself.  Luck had it; he resembled a famous NBA player. People confused him with a professional athlete and consequently donated diabetes supplies to him. It paid to look like someone famous.

Charles’s firsthand experience as someone that wanted to take care of his diabetes and lacked the resources to do so; is what inspired him to start his non-profit.

The purpose of CR3 is to get supplies to motivated people with diabetes who can not afford to test or go on an insulin pump. What I find unique about his site is that you can go online and choose whom to support by reading their profile. You can make a one-time donation or a monthly donation and know exactly who will benefit from your kind gesture.

About Nadia:

Nadia was not only born into a family with diabetes but also married into one. She was propelled at a young age into “caretaker mode,” and with her knowledge of the scarcity of resources, support, and understanding for people with diabetes, she co-founded Diabetes Interview, now Diabetes Health magazine.

Nadia holds 14 nominations for her work as a diabetes advocate. Her passion for working in the diabetes community stemmed from her personal loss—a mother and a brother who both succumbed from the effects of type 2 diabetes. She has used her experience as a caretaker to forge a career in helping others.
