Goal

Abby was a fighter. She taught us all that life is precious and to prioritize the people and the things that mean the most. Life handed her challenge after challenge, but she faced them all with strength and courage. 

 

Her journey would not have been the same without the doctors, treatments and support she received from so many over the years. Her loss will leave a redheaded hole in the hearts of many, but we hope we can honor her fight by supporting others with theirs. 

 

The mission of CF Vests Worldwide is to provide Vests to CF patients from all over the world. A Vest is a vital piece of medical equipment CF patients use to keep their lungs healthy, but they can be extremely expensive. Since our establishment in June 2020, we have provided 164 Vests to CF patients in 43 countries, including one from Abby that went to a CF warrior in Jordan. 


Services will be at Branch Funeral Home in Smithtown on Thursday, December 9 from 1-3 and 6-9. And Christ the King Church in Commack at 11am on Friday, December 10. Please wear yellow if you can, it was Abby’s favorite color. 


As a 501(c)(3) charity, EIN 88-3828940, tax laws require us to notify you that this letter is the official acknowledgment of your gift. Also, we are required to certify that you received no goods or services in consideration of this contribution; therefore, the full amount of your gift is tax-deductible.
