When Angela's sister Alina was born, what began as a joyous day “quickly turned into a nightmare.” At just 12 days old, Alina was diagnosed with congenital hyperinsulinism (HI), and her family traveled 2,500 miles for care.
Even with expert doctors, they felt lost ... until CHI connected them with a community that understood. “That connection changed everything,” Angela says.
Today, Alina is thriving at age 8, and her family has the tools and knowledge to navigate life with HI. 💙
