As a monthly donor to the Canadian Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation, Bruce feels a bit selfish. His regular contributions help fund the programs and services that benefit himself, however, he realizes that the contributions also help the others in the Ottawa Support Group that he leads, as well as the broader PF Community.
When Bruce reached out to CPFF’s CEO Sharon Lee to re-start the local Ottawa Support Group in 2023, he also decided to become a monthly donor.
“I give to several different charities, but this is different,” says Bruce. “I am directly involved. It’s the perfect way for me to support to the organization that supports me and so many others living with pulmonary fibrosis. I am committed to making a difference.” Bruce has lived with IPF for more than eight years now.
As a charity supporting a rare disease community, we don’t have the visibility of other, larger organizations. The monthly giving program is an important base of reliable support for CPFF.
