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.

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.
