The journey to change the world of C.F. starts here!
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disease of the mucus and sweat glands. It affects mostly your lungs, pancreas, liver, intestines, and sinuses. CF causes your mucus to be thick and sticky. The mucus clogs the lungs, causing breathing problems and making it easy for bacteria to grow. It can even lead to CF related diabetes.

How You Can Make a Difference
You can help to get these medication to Lizannie!
During a doctor visit in February 2022, Lizannie's lung function reached a ultimate low, a shocking 28%, directly after a 2 week iv treatment for Cystic Fibrosis. The specialist informed her that her last hope is medication called Trixacar (Trikafta) as she is already on all the available medications in SA. Now after 9 months on Trixacar Zani's lung function went up to 59%. This medication is life changing and needs to be part of her daily medication.
There is sadly still very high cost for using Trixacar and the medication needs to be paid upfront.
The cost in March 2023 was +- $3969 USD per box.
= R 72744.23 for 1 box (2 month supply) depending on the exchange rate. Currently (January 2024) the price is $5563 USD = R 105 886.14
Our aim is to raise R650 000 yearly to get 12 months supply of the medication and cover the traveling and import costs. (It is a permanent therapy)
Donate today
Our goal is to reach a 1000 or more people who
is willing to donate R100 per month for as long as possible.
