We’re passionate about supporting people with Cystic Fibrosis by providing grants that will have a positive impact on their life.
We give small financial rewards to adults with Cystic Fibrosis, recognising the challenges they’ve overcome to be where they are. These rewards can be used to help individuals achieve a goal, anything from studying to travelling.
We want to encourage independence and also build memories for people with Cystic Fibrosis and their families. These gifts are our way of saying, “This is for you” as we know life with Cystic Fibrosis is tough beyond words.
Since starting Ali’s Gift, we have provided laptops so that people can work from home as well as at hospital and funded training courses so that people can qualify in areas that allow them to work flexibly around their health commitments. We’ve also donated to people’s honeymoons and family holidays so that their condition is not a barrier to travel, and they can create incredible memories that will stay with them and their families forever.
As well as giving grants, we also work on larger-scale projects in partnership with adult CF units. We are keen to support young people with Cystic Fibrosis and helping to improve the tough transition from paediatric care to adult care.ad
People with Cystic Fibrosis are constantly battling shortness of breath and heavy medication, so much so, that as the disease progresses, everyday activities become monumental challenges. This, coupled with the pressures of school or university and the pull of socialising and enjoying life make for an exhausting and sometimes overwhelming daily struggle.
We don’t believe Cystic Fibrosis should be a barrier to fun, independence or learning. We think that CF sufferers deserve a helping hand and a pat on the back and that’s where Ali’s Gift comes in.
At present there isn’t a cure for Cystic Fibrosis. Until there is, Ali’s Gift is here to help them live their lives to the full.
