The Willett Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)3 corporation dedicated to the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis. The Foundation’s mission is to generate funds through private and corporate donations in support of pulmonary fibrosis patients whose insurance does not cover the full cost of life-saving lung transplant procedures.
It is sad and alarming how so many families find themselves in the difficult situation of having to secure additional funding for what has been medically determined to be a necessary and life-sparing treatment.

“The number of pulmonary fibrosis patients who cannot get life-saving lung transplants because their insurance companies will not cover the procedure is quite substantial. We get calls all the time and unfortunately, there is often not an answer for them.”
