Help not to starve. 4

Choosing between medicines and food is the reality of our wards. Families with seriously ill children have been living in difficult conditions for years, and with the outbreak of war, many families often have to save significantly even on food. But for a child with cystic fibrosis, weight loss means a decrease in the body's ability to resist a serious illness. This is very dangerous. 

Cystic fibrosis is life-threatening, destroys the lungs, disrupts the liver and digestion. Treatment must be daily and lifelong, and the disease does not care if you have little money. It is impossible to skip procedures and take medications, as well as to allow weight loss. 

Usually, in families with children with cystic fibrosis, only the father works, while the mother stays to look after the baby. Most children study at home in order not to catch an infection in the group and not to miss inhalations. Many families have only a mother and a seriously ill child. The income is minimal, but the list of expenses, in addition to the usual needs, includes expensive medicines, inhaler supplies and high-calorie special food. There is little money left for food. This should not be the case. 

To support families with cystic fibrosis, we are asking you to pay for food certificates together. This will give families the opportunity to catch their breath in their daily struggle.
