This is Carlos.  He is full of love, smiles, giggles, and adores his big sister.  On an average day you would never know Carlos is in a life long battle with Cystic Fibrosis.  At two weeks of age we found out our second bundle of joy had a genetic disease called Cystic Fibrosis.  The news was crippling to our family.  Soon our lives were jammed with doctors appointments, medications, therapy courses, and so much information we were sure our family unit would bust at the seams.  After the first two months knowing our son was never going to live an average life, we began to come to terms with his diagnosis.  We started researching medications that would weaken his symptoms.  We set out to find holistic medicines to use in conjunction with the medications he had to take just to keep living.  We did his preventive treatments like clockwork.  Our family was proactive in all things to help elevate Carlos' health to ensure he kept growing and meeting milestones.  What we didn't think about was how we were going to pay for all his treatments, medications, doctors visit, specialty visits, surgeries, ect.  His medical bills started adding up and fast, and our family quickly burnt through savings and began relying on credit cards for Carlos' medical bills.  What the doctors didn't tell us, was how expensive Cystic Fibrosis was going to be.  Carlos is only 3 now, and we want him to make it to 13, 23, 33, 43, and hopefully live a full life.  His life is dependent on medications, doctors and surgeries, and we need help!
