Today I wanted to talk about a super cool company called, Rylee’s Pocket.
I just love how families take a hard situation and then turn it into something positive, not only for THEIR loved one(s), but for others going through the same hardships. That’s what Corrie Stark did when her sweet daughter, Rylee, was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes March 2011.
Rylee had just started using an insulin pump and her Mom knew that with all of the ongoing changed that she was having to endure, that she wanted to come up with a way to make the pump as comfortable and as fashionable for her daughter as she could. That’s when Rylee’s Pocket was born.
Rylee’s Pocket offers cute, fun, fashionable tank tops that are functional and can keep the pump close and safe to a person’s body. The tanks allow them the ability to still run, jump, cartwheel and ride bikes with their pump. That was definitely a necessity for a 7-year-old. ;)
These fun and functional tank tops have a pocket with a zipper and a hole in the back so as to hold all the tubing in one easy to access place on the body.
Ten percent of all of their proceeds from the sales of the tank tops go back to help find a cure for Type 1 Diabetes.
I just want to say that I am SUPER proud of Corrie, Rylee and her family! I just love how they’ve turned this difficult diagnosis into something positive that helps others, too. That’s what it’s all about.

Have a blessed day! :)
