Talking about Unidos pela Vida is something fantastic for me, because since my first contact, since the first invitation I received to participate in actions carried out by them, I was always very well treated and welcomed. Whenever I had any doubts related to the disease, I was also helped. I have always felt very included in the activities that the Institute carries out and I have great affection for its team, as I believe that this inclusion makes people feel important.

Since I got to know Unidos pela Vida and the story of Veronica, the identification was immediate, and I never stopped following it. Seeing everything the team has achieved and everything they do for us, fills me with pride. They are a symbol of how to overcome cystic fibrosis.

Today, with Instituto Unidos pela Vida, I can meet other people with the disease, learn about how each one of them faces the obstacles presented by cystic fibrosis. The Institute's website is always updated with important information and promotes real public interest in the subject. I am grateful to the Institute for bringing me this tranquility.

Finding the website and social media of Instituto Unidos pela Vida also helped me a lot and I was able to receive comfort and help through the content published on these channels. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the entire team of the Institute, as you make all the difference in the lives of families and people who have cystic fibrosis across the country.

I got to know the Institute through the Internet, but shortly afterwards I also had several indications to follow its communication channels in the support groups I participate in. Unidos pela Vida, without a doubt, helps the entire cystic fibrosis community in the country with the information disseminated and the support it provides.

My message is one of gratitude. In such difficult times, we could not receive a better welcome and affection than we received from Unidos pela Vida. Participating in your projects is something unique to recharge our energies and increase our will to persevere in the fight.

Cystic fibrosis is part of us, but it's not all we are. We need to see ourselves beyond it and understand that, even with all the difficulty, dreaming and achieving our goals is possible.

We are very grateful for the miracle that happened in our lives and for the newborn screening test that allowed early diagnosis and quick search for appropriate treatment. My dream now is for cystic fibrosis to be better known and for people to have access to quality information on the subject so that no mother suffers what I suffered for the lack of information.

I got to know Unidos pela Vida when a friend of mine tagged me in one of the Institute's social media posts. From there, I became more interested and started following it. In one of the posts, I met Cristiano Silveira, coordinator of the “Equipe de Fibra”, and from then on, I became part of this team!

Dedicate yourself to physiotherapy, to the treatments recommended by the team that accompanies you and, like me, be part of the “Equipe de Fibra”. I know that we can all have quality of life, health and live well, and with dedication we can achieve this great goal.
