Bridget McLaughlin’s Cystic Fibrosis Fund
Anyone who knows Bridget and Daniel know that they are not the type of people to ask for help. But as her family, we would like a chance to offer a hand up to assist with the mounting costs associated with Cystic Fibrosis.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic life-threatening disease that progressively limits lung function/the ability to breathe. The inherited defective gene causes thick mucus to line the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. It causes clogged airways and trapped bacteria, frequent infections, lung damage, and respiratory failure. The mucous also prevents proper enzyme release in the pancreas resulting in poor ability to break down food and absorb nutrients.
Due to lifelong lung infections Bridget is nearing the need of a double lung transplant. This will require Daniel and Bridget to move to St. Louis for possibly several months while waiting for the transplant as well as a 3 month recovery period post transplant. The donations will go towards lodging, transportation, and any additional costs associated with the transplant process.
Any little bit helps. Please feel free to share this page with anyone else who might be willing to help.
