Assistance

The Garrett Thomas Foundation has been established to help individuals and their families who are living with cystic fibrosis in the state of North Carolina and Upstate South Carolina. There are several ways we have chosen to be of assistance to families.

 

Transportation
We understand the importance of timely medical appointments for anyone living with cystic fibrosis. Therefore, we provide gas cards for families so they will be able to keep these very important appointments to and from the doctor and or the hospital. These are made available in the medical clinics.

Medical
We work closely with the social workers in accredited clinics to determine the medical needs of their clients. This is determined on a case by case basis.

Family Time
We believe it is important for all families to have quality together time. Through application and clinic referrals we plan trips, parties, and other fun time activities for families.

Housing Needs
We provide assistance for families who need help paying their utilities, groceries, rent, mortgage, or any other housing expense. We consider each on a case by case basis.

Educational
We offer financial assistance to a student of $250.00 a semester.
