Dear Supporters,I trust this message finds you in good health and high spirits.
I am reaching out to you with a heartfelt appeal for support in our mission to raise funds for critical and life-changing medication called Kaftrio, essential for treating Cystic Fibrosis. My name is Amy Robertson; I am 19 years old and suffer from Cystic Fibrosis, along with Cystic Fibrosis-related Diabetes. Let me share my story.
Over the past 3 to 4 years, my health has declined rapidly. My lung function is currently at 50%, and my doctors have expressed deep concern, advising a move to the UK where I can access this transformative medication. While Kaftrio isn't a cure, it's as close as it gets to making Cystic Fibrosis a livable condition.
My battle with Cystic Fibrosis has led to numerous hospital admissions, lasting up to three weeks, continuous oxygen dependency for approximately six months, and months of being bed-bound. Recent tests have indicated that the situation won't improve; in fact, with each new infection, more damage is done to my lungs. Cystic Fibrosis unfortunately impacts the entire body.
I dream daily of experiencing life without the constant shadow of hospital visits, pain, and exhaustion. I yearn to work and be out in nature, capturing the world through my lens. Cystic Fibrosis, however, poses significant challenges. Birthdays are spent in hospital, and special events are overshadowed by health concerns. While my peers were enjoying nights out, I was learning to manage my medication and medical procedures.
Health is a fundamental aspect of our lives, and I refuse to accept a life limited by Cystic Fibrosis. Your contribution, big or small, can make a significant impact in helping me raise the required funds to apply for my Ancestral Visa for the United Kingdom, granting me access to Kaftrio.
