Therapeutic RespiteThe Child Life Society underwrites medically supervised respite therapy including trips to Arizona for young CF patients, CF adults and their families. The Child Life Society covers all costs of the respite program, from arrival to departure and everything in between. “In Arizona's dry climate, children oftenexperience less infections, renewed vigor and appetite.”This is no mere vacation. It’s a life-giving journey… The dry desert air in Arizona does a world of good for a child with cystic fibrosis. The state's dry, warm climate helps CF children experience drastically less infections, renewed vigor and appetite, and drier, freer and less mucus-congested lungs. Plus, in Arizona, the children have a chance to rediscover that they are kids… not just patients. The blend of hiking, fresh air and sweeping natural beauty has created an ultimate therapeutic destination. They leave happy, strong and inspired. Time and again, we've seen Arizona work its magic of health, happiness and hope born anew. The benefits Arizona go beyond the CF child… Caring for a chronically ill child adds stress to the entire family. Add four or five other siblings, and the challenge can become an emotionally, physically and financially draining burden. The Child Life Society's Arizona program provided a breath of fresh air for all and reestablishing family bonds between parents, children, and siblings that will strengthen and carry them through the year. Your support helps Jewish children with cystic fibrosis breathe. Click here For More About Therapeutic Respite |
