25 May 2022
Our CruelNeedsKind campaign is in full swing for #CFAwarenessMonth and I’m hoping you’ve had the chance to meet me during May. I’m FRED Bear!
Don’t know about you but I think I may have already eaten an entire box of Chocky Fish, the CFNZ team really shouldn’t leave me in the office on my own!
We have started a movement with our CruelNeedsKind message, stories are being written and shared, we have superheroes all over Aotearoa who are fundraising, buying merch, or doing other activities like donating proceeds from selling items. And there’s a whole bunch of talented creative people who are painting an art canvas for our upcoming auction in June.
Our whole team is beyond grateful to everyone across New Zealand that’s got involved, and it’s not too late. Deliberate Acts of Kindness DAY is this Friday – 27th of May, a day to give back!
Give up your coffee for a day or a week, donate the cost of a dinner out or if you’re working from home, your daily commute cost.
Being able to get a decent hot cup of coffee, hot chocolate, or a meal when you have someone in hospital can be the one Deliberate Act of Kindness that someone needs during tough times.
Your Deliberate Act of Kindness makes a difference no matter how big or small. Take one deliberate action on Friday to inject kindness into the lives of our community who are living with cystic fibrosis makes a difference. You’ll help give access to parent support, vouchers and allowances during hospitalisations, Breath4CF grants that support lung health, welfare assistance, and much more.
Your kindness means the world to our CF community.
Deliberate Acts of Kindness Day – 27 May
Take one deliberate action today that can inject kindness into the lives of people living with cystic fibrosis.
