Impact Statement
Cystic Fibrosis, an inherited, genetic disorder, is a progressive disease resulting in severe lung disease and other serious medical conditions. It is a disease of young people, as the mean survival age is 37 years old. Unfortunately, many CF patients have financial difficulties related to their illness. Sometimes they are disabled and cannot work, or they may be under or uninsured. These problems lead to financial difficulties magnified by their disease. Lack of financial resources has a negative impact on the health and quality of life of patients living with CF.

Program Description:
The Breathe Easy Foundation is looking for donations to provide individuals with Cystic Fibrosis financial assistance for medications, hospitalizations, doctor appointments, medical supplies, and nutrition. These funds are paid directly to the vendor to insure the funds are being utilitized properly. There are over 30,000 children and adults with Cystic Fibrosis. Patients spend 10's of thoudsands of dollars per year for medical costs....Costs that can not be avoided and are needed for patients to stay alive. We are looking to help every patient in need in the United States. This will require several million dollars annually but even a small donation of $25 can pay for a 1 month supply of one of the many medications needed each month for a person with Cystic Fibrosis.

Funding Needs
Cystic Fibrosis is one of the most costly, if not most costly, disease over the life time of a patient with Cystic Fibrosis. The average individual with CF will spend over $10,000 annually, with health insurance, for medical expenses. However because of the economy and recent state assistance programs being cut, many patients are faced with astrnomical costs and many go with out necessary medications to survive. A Cystic Fibrosis patient will take over 13 different medication per day, many multiple times per day. These medications are not cheap. One particular medication that almost every CF patient takes everyday for their entire lives is Pulmozyme. It can be around $100 to $200 monthly with insurance or $7,000 monthly without. Thats just one medication, there are many more at or even higher then this
