  • 4A.LIFESHINE RESPITE: CHILD LIFE SOCIETY (CLS) PROVIDES RESPITE TRIPS AT NO COST TO CHILDREN WITH CF AND THEIR FAMILIES. WE HAVE OBSERVED THAT SENDING FAMILIES FOR RESPITE IN LOCATIONS NOT DESIGNED FOR OUR INDIVIDUALS WITH CF LED TO A VARIETY OF UNNECESSARY STRESSORS AND HEALTH RISKS FOR THE CHILDREN AND FAMILIES. CLS LAUNCHED A MULTI-YEAR CAMPAIGN TO BUILD SPECIALLY-DESIGNED FACILITIES IN WHICH FAMILIES OF CHILDREN WITH CF WOULD BE ABLE TO ENJOY SAFER, LESS STRESS RESPITE. WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY FUNDED AND BUILT TWO (2) RESPITE HOMES TO-DATE, WITH THE GOAL OF THREE (3) MORE WITHIN TEN (10) YEARS TO MEET THE INCREASING DEMAND FOR SERVICES. IN 2017, THE TWO LIFESHINE RESPITE HOMES PROVIDED 10 THERAPEUTIC RESPITE TRIPS TO 16 CHILDREN WITH CF AND THEIR FAMILIES (69 TOTAL INDIVIDUALS) AT NO COST TO THE FAMILY. TRIPS INCLUDE AS NEEDED, GROUND TRANSPORTATION, AIRFARE, ACCOMMODATION, FOOD AND OTHER EXPENSES. REQUESTS FOR SERVICES CONTINUE TO INCREASE AND INCREASINGLY STRAIN THE CAPACITY OF THE ORGANIZATION TO RESPOND.
