Jerry, I wanted to know if folks from Canada can apply for financial assistance from the Boomer Esiason foundation? If so can you can mention this to us on this site I am sure many would appreciate this.
I have a fund for my living expenses from the National Transplant Assistance Fund that helps me out with my transplant expenses and much more. I had to raise the funds and they keep four percent but they help to reinburse my medical needs, food expenses, vitamins and much more. Currently they only can help you if you are going for a transplant or have a Catastrophic illness or injury.
It is too bad that a CF organization does not have this available to patients who might be relatively healthy but would have a much better quality of life if they could afford to help pay for some of their other needs in life. All they would have to do is help raise the money from family and friends and possibly sell things to raise the money. There are many ways around this.
Could you mention this to Boomer for me and ask if this is possible to start? Perhaps he could do this for the usa and canada since we are so close? Tell him my Father is Herman Gans. Boomer is a great guy and tell him I know Gary Klausner very well. He is my buddy from NY.
The best for you on your upcoming Transplant. I can see you now running not jogging
Thank you
Risa
