About Me

"To laugh often and much, To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether it be a healthy child, a garden patch, … to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived… this is to have succeeded" ~ Emerson............
No one should ever have to choose between the health of their child and everyday needs. When a doctor stands there and tells you that your child needs a specific medicine to live, no matter the cost, you will get them their medicines. To many, the cost is more than any of us will understand. Mortgage payments having to be used for medications, or credit cards maxed out on prescriptions. Your other children going without so your baby can breathe.
BREATHE 4 TOMORROW FOUNDATION was founded to "make life easier one breathe at a time." We plan to do so by helping with the financial struggles families face when dealing with Cystic Fibrosis. We can't put a price tag on it, nor can we begin to describe the stresses that go along with the terrible disease. Unfortunately, with many assistance programs there is this "gap". The "gap" consists of the people who make too much to be eligible for assistance, but not enough to make it, and have to struggle.
We are going to change the lives of our children with CF by offering scholarships, so they can live their "dreams" and have something to work towards. Going through high school with an incurable illness, you are faced with many different obstacles and stresses. We want to reward these wonderful and strong young adults, because they deserve it.
Lastly, BREATHE 4 TOMORROW wants to raise awareness about organ donation. Aaron Greene, one of the co-founders, is here today because of an organ donor. If we can get just one person to become an organ donor, that is one life we may have saved. One person who may be breathing a little easier because we founded this organization. This is for all you CF moms out there... Thank you for being you!!!
