Mission Statement
The Living Breath Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting people living with Cystic Fibrosis. We provide scholarships to eligible individuals seeking education beyond high school and offer financial assistance to help families manage CF‑related expenses, including prescription medications and medical equipment. In certain circumstances, we also help cover lost income when individuals face prolonged or frequent absences from work. Beyond financial support, the Foundation works to develop creative initiatives that raise awareness about Cystic Fibrosis and what it means to live with the condition.
