DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT!! A WHOPPING 39 individuals/families have donated!!! (Can we make it 50?? Just askin')All donations from now on are MATCHED by a local donor- so any $$ donated are DOUBLED in their impact!!
Eva gets as excited about the number of PEOPLE who support her need for a cure and improved treatments with thoughts, prayers and donations as she does the MONEY donated. So I am asking if we can possibly get a total of 50 donors?? That would be SO VERY EXCITING!!!
WILL YOU BE THERE ON SATURDAY?CFF Great Strides Day is this Saturday, October 5, 2024!We hope you can join us at Menard. Be sure to register to attend; CFF requires registration for attendance. See you there!!
The Great Strides walk is NEXT SATURDAY! Please help us reach our goal by donating whatever amount you can. NOTE: Any NEW donation (never donated previously OR higher amount than previously donated) will be MATCHED so that your donation can be DOUBLED, helping our walk reach its goal even faster!!
On Wednesday, September 25, Eva's Birthday, she was THRILLED with the amount donated already and was MOST impressed by how many people cared so much about her and her need for a cure! THANK YOU!!!
UPDATE: MANY MANY thanks to donors such as precious nephews, nursing school classmates from 55 years ago!!, graduate school classmate and best friend with whom we shared families growing together, former boss/dear friend, family esthetician/cosmologist friend, friend with whom we share love of classical music...I cannot wait to let Eva know day-after-tomorrow on her birthday how many friends care about her and how much they have donated to helping find a CURE FOR HER!!
Wednesday, September 25, is Eva's 14th Birthday. We learned on her one-month birthday why she was having so much difficulty gaining weight due to her inability to digest her milk. With the confirmed diagnosis of Cystic Fibrosis, Eva headed out along her unique path that included heightened awareness of a disease with NO CURE. With the help of donations from friends such as YOU and the work of researchers with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, her quality of life has improved steadily, though the burden of treatment (a minimum of 1.5 hours of breathing treatments and taking over 20 medications and supplements) and strict adherence to infection control can be overwhelming to both her and her mom who deals with multiple insurance companies and pharmaceutical rules and deadlines that frequently change.
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s Great Strides fundraising walk in Alexandria, LA. is ONLY 13 DAYS AWAY.
Your donation to CFF through Eva’s Alliance gives Eva hope that she can live her life to its fullest, knowing work is continuing on finding the CURE for her life-limiting disease that affects breathing, digestion, infection, growth, reproduction and other functions that are impacted by the thick sticky mucus produced.
With only 13 days remaining, PLEASE DONATE NOW. What a WONDERFUL birthday gift if you give on Wednesday or within this her birthday week. THANK YOU!!!
