Amazing charity, sent me and my boyfriend with cystic fibrosis on an amazing trip to the Bahamas and it really helped us take a moment to relax and get away from the stress of life. I would recommend donating here any day.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). I was hospitalised eighteen times in three years, mostly with flare ups and pneumonia. For me, the chronic widespread pain takes my breath away more than the disease itself. At times the pain is so severe I find it difficult to do anything. My life was gradually coming to an end, until I saw Dr Sims Gomez Herbs on google during my research for alternative help for IPF.. I knew health is wealth thus I decided to give it a try, thank God I did. I got the Lungs disease formula four working days after placing an order. OMG I started noticing a change in my breath after one month of taking the herbs formula, My IPF was completely reversed after THREE months of usage. Now I'm happy and free from this deadly disease. visit ( drsimsgomezherbs . com ).

PHA has been a life saver. They have helped me connect to other patients all over the world. The educational material they have for patients, physicians and all allied health professionals is the best. The support they offer is unrivaled. I recently had a transplant due to pulmonary hypertension and PHA has continued to be supportive. They are an outstanding non-profit.

Running on Air is a fantastic example of a grassroots organization advocating for people who need supplemental oxygen, and was founded by Mary Kitlowski, a patient who can speak to the challenges of living with a lung condition that has challenged almost every aspect of her life. For example, as a result of her own experiences as well as many other lung disease patients, Mary created a table that provides accurate, comparable information about the exact amount of oxygen patients can expect from a range of commercially available portable oxygen concentrators, as well as how much each unit weighs. This is the type of advocacy only available from an organization like Running on Air: patient-led, grassroots advocacy.

GO2 has been a wonderful support group for patients and caregivers. They also are wonderful advocates for medical research in the cure for lung cancers

Ride Hard Breathe Easy is a unique non-profit that specifically helps lung cancer patients who may need financial or other assistance. Often stigmatized, underfunded, and still the number one cancer that kills, Ride Hard Breathe Easy has helped hundreds of patients fighting this battle. Working with our partners, RHBE will continue to work with patients and their caregivers to ease the suffering and reduce the stress that a lung cancer diagnosis brings.

I am a 51 year old woman living with CF and I have a 31 year old son and I have been married to the same man for 35 years we have been through hell and back including living in a camper from October 2022 to May 2023 and that is in New York state .we have a Mobile home/trailer that is in a trailer park.

USACFA centers the voices of adults living with CF and supports us in fulfilling our dreams. We offer a number of unique scholarships and a quarterly publication for and by adult CF community members. Everyone on the Board has CF ourselves and understands the needs of our adult patient population firsthand.

My children were recipients of this organization's free care while in a downtown LAUSD high school. My son's asthma was cured and my daughter' needs were met throughout high school.

I was diagnosed with non small cell lung cancer with an actionable mutation in June 2017. I was a 38 year old nonsmoker, mom of 3 young children and in the best shape of my life - lung cancer was the last thing I thought was wrong. As I approach the 4 year mark since my diagnosis I have been involved with various lung cancer nonprofits on my journey. I was connected with LCRF a few years ago through a friend I went to college with who had lost her father to lung cancer and I haven't looked back. What really draws me to LCRF is their dedication to research and moving the needle for lung cancer survivors. As a survivor I always say my life is "in the hands of science" and to an extent that is true - we only have so many "tools in our toolbox" before we sadly run out of options. LCRF's dedication to research is what is going to help extend my life, so that I can be here for my 3 kids. I appreciate their dedication to keeping us informed of the most promising research and their information sessions have been so meaningful and impactful - there is always something to learn and discover. I was fortunate enough to take a tour of a lab and see research dollars at work! What a cool experience and I will be forever grateful to LCRF for allowing me to share my story, for connecting investigators and survivors (there is something so neat about meeting those working so hard behind the scenes for us and being an example of how amazing research and progress is) and for their dedication to science. So many important and impactful investigators and superstars in the field received grants from LCRF at the beginning of their careers - they are truly making a difference. I have a fundraiser every year in my town and we have raised over $30,000 for LCRF! LCRF is definitely the organization I believe in and who is making a difference and progress in all survivor's lives.

This is a very professional nonprofit organization!<br><br>The mission and the staff that work at 'Breathe California Golden Gate Public Health Partnership' are highly motivated, passionate about the work they do, extremely knowledgeable & helpful and ready to fight for clean air and lung health in their local community.<br>

I am VERY disappointed and will never donate to a cause online again. I made a ONE TIME donation of $20 & your organization took it upon itself to make it “recurring”. I’ve been at my bank for hours today because of this sneaky move. DONT YOU DARE TAKE ANOTHER RED PENNY OUT OF MY ACCOUNT.

I had a double lung transplant in2007 at the age of 65 and it will be 10 yrs on December 3 2017 it was a experience that I will not forget. I was diagnosed in 1996 withb pulmonary fibrosis and was on oxygen for a while but got better then 2007 I oxygen level dropped to 50% and I was told I had to go on oxygen just to go to the bathroom. I started pt at rex hospital three days a week and the nurse there was the one that mentioned a transplant and I was put in touch with doctor at duke and went to see doctor at duke.

On a daily basis the latest information about lung cancer can be found on the groups facebook page. The group is dedicated to creating awareness about this insidious disease

Do not donate cars to this organization. You'll get more tax bang for your buck if you give to Kars 4 Kids. I donated my car. It was old but the body and interior were in good condition. When the tow truck guy came, he jumped it, drove it down the alley to the tow truck and that was that. The American Lung Assn. gave me $500. When I called to see if any adjustments could be made, both to the local and national office, they got snippy. A friend of mine donated his car to Kars 4 Kids. It was older than mine, totally rusted out and basically no interior. They gave him $2500. I wish I had kept my car, took it to a dealer and traded it in. I wanted to do a good deed but I didn't think I'd be taken advantage of in return. Do not donate your car to American Lung Assn.

A group of hard working people doing what they can to make the lives of people with Cystic Fibrosis better. Very impressive.

Several years ago, I had the pleasure of visiting Camp Huff and Puff while working for LifeFlight. The helicopter visit is part of the annual camp experience, allowing the campers the chance to see the aircraft. The very next year I began to volunteer as a nurse there. Camp has become a part of my summer now for the past 12 years. Huff and Puff provides an opportunity for children with asthma to enjoy the outdoors, participate in games and sports, and learn about their illness. Physicians, Nurses, Respiratory Therapists and other medically trained staff are always available to make the camp experience safe as well as fun. I have had the pleasure of having my daughter be at camp with me, and she loves being there. Camp Huff and Puff is a wonderful way for kids with asthma to learn, laugh and breathe easy!

Three months ago I was confused and scared, knowing there was something wrong with my lungs, but not having any idea what. One doctor suggested it might be LAM, but it is a rare disease, and she didn't know. I looked up LAM on the internet and found all kinds of scary information, but I also found the LAM Foundation. I contacted them asking about their listserv that I saw mentioned, and the Patient Services Director responded to me within hours. Since then she has helped me find information, doctors, and other women with LAM to connect with. And all that before it was clear if I had the disease. Turns out I do have it. Found out a couple weeks ago. Some women spend years trying to get a diagnosis when they have LAM. I think my path to diagnosis was made shorter and easier (though not easy) by all the help I got from the LAM Foundation and from the ladies on their listserv. Now I get their newsletter and other information, and it is all tremendously helpful.

I love their newsletter and great website. All of thier work is very professional and for the members and individuals with celiac disease. They are truly for the clients and work for the good of individuals with celiac disease

MPDCI has provided amazing services to our two children with cystic fibrois, who are now young adults. Summer after summer our family has been the beneficiaries of their generosity in providing tickets to places such as Michigan Adventure and Frankenmuth. For the past couple of summers, my youngest daughter Jamie has been able to attend cross country training camp. We are not a family of means, and thee activities are luxuries we most likely would have forgone otherwise. Casandra, our older daughter, has benefited semester after semester from the educational grant that MPDCI has provided for her. The people at MPDCI have such great hearts. Whenever we apply for a grant or scholarship, they communicate so professionally, and yet so compassionately. They have been patient when we have erred and they helped us to know what we needed to do in order to receive the grant/scholarship we were applying for. I guess, in a nutshell, it is obvious that they are passionate about assisting the CF community in as many ways as possible, and are delighted each time that they do just that. Because of distance, we do not actively engage in social activities they provide, and have participated in very little of their fundraising events. Yet, anyone I have ever talked to in that organization has treated me wonderfully. They are whole hearted, to be sure. It would be wonderful to see this organization recieve this grant, to encourage them for their great heart/efforts, and enable them to do even more. Children and young adults with CF often appear rather "normal" to most people, but to those of us who live with someone with CF, we know their daily challenges. But although we love them and seek to help them in everyway possible, we can never entirely understand what they go through. How grateful we are for an organization like MPDCI who heeps encouragement on these dear invididual.

Breathe California's staff is highly professional, dedicated and accountable. We have worked together to promote safer consumer cleaning products that do not contain asthma-causing or triggering substances among retail stores and the general public. This has been one of our best collaborations to date.
