My Nonprofit Reviews

This organization is at the forefront of issues impacting the CF community. I was proud to support these efforts over the years. From mental health , to cancer screenings they are raising awareness and educating our community about these important issues to help save lives .

I was so grateful to be able to receive a breather from take a breather foundation this September. Unfortunately I was diagnosed with stage 4 Colon Cancer back in July of 2021, and that last year has been rather difficult at times. Cystic Fibrosis Patients are 6-10times more likely to develop Colon Cancer, so not only do I live with CF I now live with Colon Cancer as well. From start to finish the team at take a breather was so kind and helpful, even changing plans to accommodate a schedule change in the beginning stages. The trip itself went off without an issue, I was picked up at my house by a local limo company who are family friends of mine, arrived in Sunny San Diego to start my adventure. I stayed for 5 days and was able to have a special interaction with some penguins, as well as a sloth, and a sea otter at the San Diego seaworld. I also visited the San Diego zoo and the Safari Park. It was a great trip, and one that I always hoped to take. I'm so glad I got to go on my California adventure while I was healthy enough to enjoy it.
