Your Review Your Rating: 5 stars Role: Professional with expertise in this field September 18, 2020 I am a social worker in the Adult Cystic Fibrosis Program at The Hospital of The University of Pennsylvania. We have had an extremely close relationship with Take A Breather Foundation (TAB), especially with its founder. Living with cystic fibrosis brings many challenges, one of which can be financial. Care, numerous medication co-pays, lost wages due to illness, inability to work full-time because of poor health are some of the contributing factors. Often our patients have no additional funds for the enjoyable "extras" in life. Most "wish" type programs are usually available for children. Take A Breather recognize that adults need a break as well! We have had several of our adult patients get their "breather" - many have enjoyed vacations, but some have chosen to get something they normally couldn't afford, such as a high-end 35mm camera, snowboarding equipment & gear, etc.... Each and every one of our patients have been extremely grateful for their wish. Take A Breather holds many fundraising events throughout the year which allows them to provide these wishes. Because of COVID-19, trips and such had to be put on hold. TAB immediately switched their focus to providing financial relief to those affected by the pandemic, as many lost their jobs or were laid off and experienced a reduction in income. They have been able to help people with rent, utilities, food, etc.... Take A Breather has truly fulfilled their mission statement and continues to create special memories for those battling cystic fibrosis each and every day.

The 'Take A Breather Foundation' was amazing! Having Cystic Fibrosis is difficult enough but dealing with it during COVID-19 has been especially challenging, especially trying to exercise and stay healthy. My CF clinic reached out to them and they came through! The foundation was instrumental in purchasing a road bike to help me stay healthy. They worked with my local bicycle shop to find the right bike and I've been peddling away ever since getting the bike in late July. I started off doing 5 miles, then 10, then 15, and just this past weekend on 9/12/20, I completed my first 30-mile charity bike ride. This Foundation was crucial in helping me to stay healthy, fit, and focused on my long term goals of keeping my CF in check! I am so appreciative that they exist and are helping the lives of CF patients like myself.
I would like to give the biggest thank you to the Take-A-Breather foundation for putting the biggest smile on my daughters face.Jonelle has been wanting a MacBook for a long time now and her laptop just died. I reached out to Take-A-Breeather to see if they could help me. They were amazing and more than willing to help! She received the MacBook and I dont think I have ever seen a bigger smile. Thank you so very much Take-A-Breather for granting Jonelle the one thing that she has always wanted. You are an amazing organization that does so much for for so many.
