My Nonprofit Reviews

Hi my name is Nina and on January 19, 2000 I gave birth to my son Michael and was so happy he had arrived. One month later he was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. He does pretty well but life hasn't been easy for him. In his 15 years of life so far he has had probably 5 times more Doctors appointments then most people have in their entire lifetime. He takes handfuls of pills several times a day as well as breathing treatments. His worst CF experience was a couple years ago when he was diagnosed with a pretty severe case of pancreatitis. It was heartbreaking to watch my baby in so much pain and not be able to make it go away. We pray everyday that he doesn't ever have to go through that level of pain ever again. A month ago Take A Breather sent our family on a trip of a lifetime. We went to Hawks Cay Resort in Duck Key, Fla. It was beautiful!!! The sunsets were magical. In the evenings they had teen nights for the teenagers in the resort. I think this was Michaels favorite activity. Michael and I also swam with the dolphins one day which was amazing. Take A Breather was incredible with their attention to detail. It was so nice to be able to take a breather from CF for a week and just relax in such a beautiful magical place. Thank you Take A Breather, we are forever grateful!!!
