Dear Boston Children's Hospital I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to you with a heavy heart to share the dire situation my 9-month-old son, Omar Abdirahman Omar, is facing. He has been diagnosed with a critical heart defect (TOF), and doctors have recommended urgent surgery to save his life. Unfortunately, I am unable to afford the costs required for this life-saving procedure. As a parent, it is devastating to see my child suffering without the means to provide him with the care he desperately needs. I have exhausted all possible resources and am now turning to compassionate individuals and organizations like yours for support. Omar's condition is deteriorating, and time is of the essence. Any financial assistance, resources, or guidance you can provide would be a lifeline for my son and our family. Your help could make the difference between life and death for him. Please let me know if there is any documentation or information you require to consider my request. I am more than willing to provide all necessary details.

The history of cystic fibrosis diagnosis
In 1955, Dr. Harry Shwachman, head of Boston Children’s Cystic Fibrosis Clinic, developed the first practical sweat test to diagnose cystic fibrosis (CF). It involved encasing the patient’s body in a plastic bag to collect sweat, then using the pictured device to measure levels of salt in the sample. Cystic fibrosis causes sweat to be 2-5 times saltier than average. The sweat test allowed for much simpler and earlier diagnosis of CF, crucial to effective treatment. A version of it is still the main diagnostic tool used today.
