The LA Fire Emergency Fund is a temporary program designed to address the urgent needs of our CF community during the ongoing fires in Los Angeles. This fund provides support to individuals and families living with cystic fibrosis, helping cover the costs of essentials such as food, temporary lodging, air purifiers, and other critical supplies during this crisis.
A gift of $250 can support 1 grant recipient.
Due to the devastating LA fires, many members of the CF community are facing severe financial strain and increased health risks. CFers are especially vulnerable to the poor air quality caused by smoke and airborne particles, which can significantly impact their lung health. Our response? We’ve launched the **LA Fire Emergency Fund** to provide critical financial support for CF families, helping them access essential items such as air purifiers, food, and temporary lodging. This initiative empowers our community to protect their health and live proudly, even in the face of unprecedented challenges.
This program provides a one-time grant to individuals living with cystic fibrosis or their caregivers to assist with time-sensitive needs during the LA fires and the immediate aftermath. Grants are distributed to clients via PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle, ensuring funds are available for immediate use.
