Our Inspiration: Katie SullivanKatie has never known a life without enzymes, chest therapy and visits to Doernbecher Children's Hospital. Today Katie is active teenager who lives daily with Cystic Fibrosis but more importantly she is a vibrant, sensitive girl who loves school, sushi, her family and friends. Katie provides us with the inspiration to help anyone in the Cystic Fibrosis Community that we can, however we can.
The Need for Katie's Kause
The Cystic Fibrosis National Foundation focuses mainly on research to find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis. They work diligently throughout the year to raise money to find new drugs and treatments to assist Cystic Fibrosis children and young adults.
Katie's Kause provides a need to those same families by providing one-time financial assistance at a time in their lives when prescriptions and treatments can cost in excess of $10,000 a month. Katie's Kause has partnered with Doernbecher Children's Hospital and their Cystic Fibrosis social worker to ascertain if referrals will benefit from services that Katie's Kause provides.
Katie's Kause exists in order to respond to the overwhelming needs facing Cystic Fibrosis families living in the Oregon and Washington area.
