Moments from our community
Our story
It started with Kaylee
In 2021, the Mallia brothers founded the TKJD Foundation on Long Island after Kaylee was diagnosed with T1D at age 4. Today we’re TK.Type 1.
Our all-volunteer board is made up of people living with T1D and their families. We know this journey firsthand, and we’re here so no one has to walk it alone.
“I feel like we are getting a new set of wings, so our family can learn how to fly again.”
