The Molly and Emily Bonnell Medical Assistance Program

Supporting CF families is what The Bonnell Foundation is all about.

Note: Our vitamin assistance program ended for the year. We reached our financial commitment.

We know cystic fibrosis (CF) care can be financially overwhelming. Insurance doesn’t cover everything, and the physical and emotional toll affects the whole family. That’s why we offer up to $500 in assistance every 6 months (twice a year) to help cover essential CF-related costs.

What We May Cover (via direct payment only to a provider):

  • Durable medical equipment (DME)
  • Counseling services
  • Doctor/urgent care/ER visits
  • Ambulance services
  • CF-specific medications

We do not reimburse individuals directly.

If you’re applying for supplements, please know that you can only apply twice per year, for $250 each time (this is for supplements like Ensure).

What We Do Not Cover:

  • Lost wages
  • Rent/mortgage
  • Car payments/repairs
  • Cell phone bills, utilities, and similar personal expenses

In rare cases, other medical costs may be considered upon review.

Application Requirements:

  • Complete the online application (mail-in applications are not accepted)
  • Submit a letter from your CF care team confirming your CF diagnosis
  • Include the full medical bill(s) you are requesting payment for

If approved, payment goes directly to the provider. You’ll also be asked to share your story (photo, short letter, and/or video) to help raise awareness and inspire donations. You do not need to use your last name.

We review applications on a case-by-case basis and do not discriminate based on race, gender, religion, age, or financial status.

If you’re on a transplant journey, please consider reaching out to the Children’s Organ Transplant Association (COTA) for help with CF related fundraising. The Bonnell Foundation partners with COTA.

If you are on a transplant journey and would like to learn about fundraising for transplant-related expenses, please reach out to COTA.

My name is Mike and I am a gentleman living with CF. I am not as young as I used to be and trying to age gracefully. As we all get older our needs change but especially for those of us living with CF. There are many more tests, medications and up keep that need to be done. With the Bonnell Foundation’s help I was not forced to have to cut back on any of these needs. Life is not always easy but with people like you and what you do for others – you make it easier. THANK YOU, TRULY, THANK YOU!

    I agree that if my request is approved and I receive financial assistance - I will write a letter to The Bonnell Foundation about how the funds helped me. This will include providing a photo of myself and creating a video for The Bonnell Foundation fundraiser event. This has no impact on whether or not I will be awarded funds. This is a needed tool to show who The Bonnell Foundation helps, and to encourage others to give to our programs.
