CF patients and families are faced with harsh financial choices when they or a loved one are in the hospital. Our grant program has helped over 600 families and individuals with rent, utilities and other monthly bills. This program was the brainchild of our founder Claire at 13 years old. Our aim is to give people living with CF and their families financial peace of mind so they can sit by their child’s bedside or take the time they need to focus on their health. Hopefully, these grants also remind them they are not alone; we are all sitting together in spirit.
