Welcome to the Ottawa Freedom Center,

URGENT!!
HELP FOR A FAMILY WITH A CHILD WITH Cystic Fibrosis 
We have a 5 year old child in desperate   need of hearing aids.  This child has Cystic Fibrosis (C.F), also has lung problems, pancreas problems and has to take enzymes.  With all of this, the child is also on a special diet.  The mom is on a fixed income with other children in the household.  The child needs a support worker 7 days a week to tend to his needs. Any help will be greatly appreciated.  

Thank you in advance for your contributions. It is very much appreciated by all that is involved.

**Names have been removed from this as per the mom's wishes**

Some take breathing for granted, others take it as a blessing!!

WHAT IS CYSTIC FIBROSIS?

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common fatal genetic disease affecting Canadian children and young adults. There is no cure.
Cystic fibrosis causes various effects on the body, but mainly affects the digestive system and lungs. The degree of cystic fibrosis involvement differs from person to person. However, the persistence and ongoing infection in the lungs, with destruction of lungs and loss of lung function, eventually causes death in the majority of people who have cystic fibrosis.
Typical complications caused by cystic fibrosis are difficulty in digesting fats and proteins; vitamin deficiencies due to loss of pancreatic enzymes; and progressive loss of lung function.
It is estimated that one in every 3,600 children born in Canada has cystic fibrosis. Almost 4,000 Canadian children, adolescents, and adults with cystic fibrosis attend specialized CF clinics.
