<P>It has been a incredible year for my foundation the Kevin A Przybyl Breathe Easy foundation.  I started this foundation January 2010, with the sole purpose to help patients directly. All of us on the board and volunteers are just that, 100% volunteer. No one takes a single cent from working at this foundation. Despite the fact that our personal jobs and the fact that half of the board has CF and the other has a family member with CF, we have accomplished a great deal in a very short time. In December of last year we obtained our own 501c3, held our first 2 events raising nearly $8k.</P>
<P> This year with the help of Dunkin Donuts, and CF Pharmacy of Orlando we were able to remodel two patient rooms at Orlando's Adult Care facility - Winter Park Hospital. The rooms have not seen any upgrades for nearly 20 years but with everyones help we repainted the rooms, put in hardwood floors, big screen TVs, Sofa chairs for family members to spend the night. Our goal is to do this to 2 more rooms to cover the 154 patients that this facility takes care of, and it appears again with a major grant coming  from Dunkin Donuts this will happen before the end of the year. </P>

<P> </P>
<P>Besides the community project, this month we started providing direct assistance to 3 patients. They will receive monthly monetary amount to help cover the expenses that we all have to deal with for the next 12 months. We hope that our golf tournament will allow 3 more patients to receive this assistance. As we grow we hope to add more patients and increase the monthly amount. </P>
<P>How you can help !!!</P>
<P> </P>
<P>Visit our website <A href="http://www.breathe-easy.org">www.breathe-easy.org</A> to see our upcoming and continous fundraisers, especially our capital one credit card program. If you have a credit card or want one, we have special program with capital one. When you join we automatically get $50 and 1-10% of all the purchases with the card. It does not change your rate, no fees, and if you have a card from capital one you can call them and join the program. Thus far in less than a year it has raised $2,000 with only 11 members. Imagine if we tripled that or better, again more CF patients can be helped. </P>
<P>Join our facebook page -- Breathe Easy Foundation - and keep updated on all that we are doing </P>
<P>My goal is to help every CF patient throughout the US that needs it, but we cant do it without help. </P>
<P>Thank you to all those on this site that have help thus far.</P>
