Help my grandma, Eileen, Fight Cystic Fibrosis
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Leah Oster. A couple years ago, my grandma, Eileen, found out she has cystic fibrosis. She has been trying different things from doctors, but nothing is helping. Her cough is getting worse, making it hard for her to work. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic mutation, where mucus is produced, not only in the lungs, but also around the pancreas. To keep things short and simple, cystic fibrosis can be fatal if not treated properly. There isn't a known cure, but there are tools that can help people from getting worse. One of these tools is a shaking vest. It vibrates and breaks up the mucus, allowing it to be cleared out of the lungs. These range in price and quality. The price ranges from $2,000-$15,000. My grandma's insurance will not cover or help with the cost of the vest. My grandma has gotten pneumonia multiple times from not being able to clear the mucus out of her lungs. So, this would greatly improve her quality of life, and it would be a major blessing to her.
If you can't help financially, please share this post, and prayers are also greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
