One hundred percent of your donations are helping students with college scholarships, lung transplant grants and financial assistance for medical needs - that's more than $200,000 over the past several years. We also mentor in the CF community and have recently launched a support group.
I appreciate the mission of this foundation, and do not want to disparage the mission, but I had a very negative interaction with the founder of the foundation.
I am a pulmonary social worker at Ft Sam Houston who serves military families experiencing a pulmonary related disease such as Cystic Fibrosis (CF). At times, there are families who need financial assistance and the Bonnell Foundation was there to provide that support for a family needing assistance with unexpected day care expenses due the military member having to train across the country for a few months and his son with CF needing specialized day care to continue. This specific assistance was a part of the Bonnell Foundation's Medical Support Program which is a new resource that is available to military families having to deal with CF. The Bonnell Foundation also has a CF Pen Pal Program which is an emotional support network for children and parents. Bonnell also has a CF Caregiver Appreciation Program designed to help military couples (both parents) by sending them cards of emotional support on a monthly basis. I highly recommend them and utilizing their incredible support system.

We are working to make a difference in the CF community. We are not aware of anyone having had a bad experience with our Foundation. Please email us at: info@roadmaptocf.org so that we might talk with you directly. We want to make sure nothing but positive vibes come from our Foundation. I am the Founder of the Bonnell Foundation and take this seriously. I have no idea who jpstevens is, having looked back to our contacts and sponsors. Look forward to hearing from you personally.
