My First International Trip with T1D
Travelling abroad for the first time, and doing it solo, was a long-held dream that felt harder to reach as costs rose and much of his family’s income went toward insulin and treatment. Yet stepping into this journey filled him with pride, fear, and excitement all at once. From lost luggage to breathtaking views at the Duomo, Florence gave Apoorv new experiences, new friends, and a new understanding of himself. The #voicesº community made everything lighter, and the kindness received reminded him of the blessings of his parents, his faith, and Hanuman ji guiding him every step of the way.
