Dharma Breathes

My name is Dharma Bredell

I am 23 years old and just before my fifth birthday, I was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. 

My normal day consists of two nebulisations with chest physiotherapy in between twice a day, in the morning and evening. 

I take a handful of supplements and medication to keep me going and I have a port-o-cath to make IV access a little bit easier when I am admitted to the hospital. 

My normal might be different from yours, but I wouldn’t change my life one bit. I have a saying, “I have Cystic Fibrosis, Cystic Fibrosis doesn’t have me” and I live by that.

I am currently a Honours Psychology student, working towards becoming a registered counsellor in South Africa. I have a passion for counselling, motivational speaking and spreading awareness for CF!

I am fundraising and raising awareness for a life-saving treatment called Trikafta. When I was younger, and the hospital stays got a little too long and the nebulisations and medications became too much, I told my parents I wished there was a simple treatment in the form of a pill. 

Now there is, but without your help, I and many others like myself will not be able to access this treatment.

Let’s show Dharma our support by ordering some really awesome and breathtaking Merchendise from her online store!

Jaco’s Journey

Jaco’s Journey

Jaco used all of his savings and borrowed the money to pay for life-saving medication.
He is doing better already and coughing much less but he urgently needs your support to repay the loan and use the money towards his next batch of medication.
