Sign your name today! It's our job to take care of our children

Jordan's Principle - Indigenous Services Canada - has denied our Rural Nutrition Program, leaving Yukon kids in communities without food programs. We received the denial letter 2 weeks into the school year and had to let the communities know that there won't be 2 hot meals, snacks and hampers for their kids anymore. It's heart-breaking, it's unjust, and we're going to fight this until it is reinstated.

We’re appealing the decision and need your help to save the Rural Nutrition Program. If you can, please write a letter of support or sign our form letter: www.yfned.ca/appeal

A cold isn’t a cold when you’re living with cystic fibrosis.

It means longer days and fighting through fatigue just so you can play with your sister. It means a body that feels weak, even though you fight so hard to stay strong and healthy. It’s lungs that burn when you want them to thrive. It’s more medications, more anxiety. It’s hard.

CF doesn’t care who you are, how old you are, or what you have planned. You can work harder than anyone else and still fall short.

Because what others don’t see, they don’t understand. They don’t see that spreading germs can be deadly to someone with CF.

We need to change the narrative around germs. You don’t know if you’re cutting someone’s life shorter by exposing immunocompromised people to your germs. 🦠
