| Description: |
In Israel today there are over 400 children afflicted with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). CF is a genetic disease that produces abnormally thick mucous that blocks the glands and other areas in the body. The lungs and pancreas are the two vital organs that are affected. The symptoms are chronic coughing, digestive problems, and recurrent pneumonia. Many hours of daily treatment, special nutrition, antibiotics and other medications, become a way of life for CF children and their families. As you can imagine, it takes its toll emotionally, physically and financially.
Concerned Friends of Cystic Fibrosis (CFCF), established in April 1997, is a non-profit organization dedicated to meet the challenge of aiding as many CF children in Israel as possible. Over the years, with the help of our dedicated friends, we have financed medical equipment, medicines, exercise machines, air conditioners, bicycles, swimming lessons, physical therapy, family counseling, summer retreats, interest free loans, and subsidies for special IVF procedure (5 healthy children have been born so far!)
HELP THE 400 CF CHILDREN IN ISRAEL BREATHE EASIER! |
