That is the link to my friends facebook fundraising page for Michael Accetta.
I'm going to copy and paste the about section from that page as it's easier for someone who sees him everyday to be able to explain his situation better:
"Michael Accetta 21 years old. Diagnosed at birth with Cystic Fibrosis.
Cystic Fibrosis is an inherited disease That effects the lungs and
digestive systems.
Since birth, Michael has faced extreme
challenges and adversities fighting his personal battle against Cystic
Fibrosis. His fight has become more intrusive to his daily living and
activities. Michael takes in excess of 60 pills daily along
with various inhaled medications and his lung clearance treatments 3x
daily. IV antibiotic therapy has become more frequent and the duration
of this treatment lasts for weeks with round the clock infusions.
Hospitalizations and outpatient visits to the hospital are constant. On a
normal month Michaels medicines are in excess of 22,000.00
This has never stopped him to push himself to enjoy life and accomplish his life goals. He never wants to stop!!
Michaels lung function is quickly declining and putting him in
transplant status....thus the need to raise funds, No one knows the
exact timing of this, but they have advised the family to start the
fundraising process."
Please if you can help I'm pretty sure he and every one who surrounds him would greatly appreciate it!!!!!!
