QT3, I’m hoping you can help spread the word of a family in need. Faith is a 5-year CF patient and a member of the CF community.
We can’t go into deep personal detail, but the father is no longer around and they lost their car when this happened. She lives nearly 3 hours from the University of Michigan hospital where she gets her care and not having transportation is putting her life in jeopardy.
We’re not looking for big individual donations. Money is tight for most people, so our hope is we can spread this story around and get a few thousand people to donate $1-$3. This would be enough to get her Mom stabilized (she has 2 more children besides Faith). As of last week we had a car that would work, but we need to raise about $2,500 to get it.
I’m a recently elected member of the board and donate my time to them and patients. Faith is a real sweetheart and I desperately hope I can help her and her family. If it’s not too much trouble please send the link to friends/family and ask if they too can do the same.
The response so far has been amazing. Our Office Manager called me late last night, and she was beside herself talking about the response.
I also wanted to say, there’s more to the story that we cannot print. This little girl has been through a lot. It’s been very emotional and the impact you’re mkaing goes further than dollars or transportation. For her, knowing people care (outside her Mom and nurses) - this is going to have a tremendous impact on her.
