Including a Gift in Your Will
Thank you for considering including a gift to Cystic Fibrosis WA in your will. Your foresight and generosity will make a meaningful difference in the lives of people living with cystic fibrosis in Western Australia.
We are grateful to have your support. You can be sure that your gift will be used to build better futures. Your belief in our work will be a lasting legacy to you and your wishes, together we will get closer to achieving our vision of “Thriving individuals, families and communities.” Every step brings us closer to a cure.
How will my gift make a difference?
We would love to get the chance to talk to you about how you would like your gift to make a difference. These are our current priorities:
- Funding quality research to enable treatment advances and ultimately a cure
- Financial support for equipment and essential needs
- Online connection sessions for children with CF who can’t meet in person due to infection risk
- Support sessions in the home, including airway clearance, exercise and respite
- Training and education for the community to help build knowledge around CF and respiratory conditions
- Advocacy efforts to achieve positive improvements to CF policies
Needs do change over time and you can be confident that Cystic Fibrosis Western Australia will always respond to the needs of our community. Together we have seen incredible changes in the last 50 years, with dramatic increases to life expectancy and quality of life for people living with cystic fibrosis.
If you have a special area of interest such as support for new families, young adults, sibling support or an area of research then we would love to know so that we can make sure your wishes are carried out.
Will we find a cure because someone thought it was important enough to leave a gift in their will?
