I do not have a site. But I found you through the N.Y.T. I think Eva’s story is very strong
and powerful and poignant. I hope it can be broadcast. But I’m not in the broadcast field. I’m just
a person who a relates quite a bit. I have had lifelong very severe asthma since my earliest
years…and spent many months hospitalized and was not expected to live as a child
and then A.C.T.H. came along and helped. I was too ill for much of my childhood (in
1950’s) to go to school. So my mother hovered around me and gave me injections and
we traveled to get the best treatment we could. I’m sure it was very hard on my entire
family emotionally and financially. I read a lot, watched movies and finally was able to go to school
(for jr. high and high schools).Then in college it kept getting really bad and I nearly died
many times in my 20’s, had to drop out of college, kept on going, got married (…and lost two
greatly desired babies…because of the tremendous stress on my
body of severe asthma). I think severe status asmaticus must feel a little like cystic fibrosis at worst of times. But over time and with lots of help from pulmonary specialists I limped along, improved the
strength of my lungs and actually was able to have three babies and go to graduate school and to have a short career in psychology helping others. My kids are young, healthy adults now and I’m weak from a long life of chronic illness. But I’ve had a chance to do much of what I wanted to do. I was lucky. I wish Eva had experienced some of the breaktrough treatments I was able to have. I sincerely hope that a cure for cystic fibrosis can be found very soon. I think Eva’s story should be broadcast because so many people are not aware of a fight like hers. She is teaching us in her blogs and video. What a lovely girl what a lovely
spirit. Thank you, Eva. Marian Stauffer
Just a suggestion,if you want FREE no cost world wide broadcast go to Veetle.com. There you can accomplish just that, with a decent P.C. and a fast ISP, (Internet Service Provider).
I am and have been a registered donor.
Demand freedom to air this in US is necessary. New York voters arise!
What a tragedy that such a beautiful human being had her life cut short from this horrendous disease. Last week I renewed my driver’s license and signed up for the organ donor program at the same time. May some lasting good come out of the too short life and untimely death of this wonderful person.
Would love to see this film in the US…good luck…RIP Eva!
Please air this program everywhere! As the parent of a CF child who died at age 6 it is imperative that a face be put to this debilitating disease and awareness increased to the importance of organ donation! (As a side note, I also am the parent of a child in kidney failure who is awaiting a kidney transplant…just another reason to promote organ donation).
Please let us see this film in the U.S.!
We would love to be able to see Eva’s film in the US. We will sign the petition and get others to as well. She was such an amazing young woman..
I cannot find the facebook page. Does it still exist?
Please bring the film to Maine!It will be well attended.
Please bring this video to Richmond, VA to any of the local channels. It will make everyone who doesn’t know about this disease and how it affects the families more aware. I am the mother of a 32 year old daughter, but I miss her more and more each day (she lives in Alabama and I live in Virginia). My greatest fear is that she is getting closer and closer to needing a transplant each day. Call it what you will, but I need to be there for her.
AZ wants to see 65_Red Roses!
It would be great if the world could see this story. Not only for organ donation/awareness, but also for CF.
Australia has a place for this story.
Eva had a message for the world.
This disease touches so many people, in so many ways. It’s also very misunderstood — the isolation from other patients, the lack of understanding of the fear every time a test comes in, the promise (seldom delivered) of a hope for a cure, and the interminable number of things that can go wrong…..
Eva’s story (our story) needs to be told.

Dear Nimisha, I am in Tucson and will be viewing 65 Red Roses tomorrow at 4pm. I wish you could be there. If by the absolute long shot that you are, please let me meet you. I contacted you before Eva’s death in early March.~I have a son that is 5 w/severe cf as well. I am so sorry for your Eva, and all that she went through. God bless you and her whole family. You are all in our prayers. I wrote to KVOA reporter Kristie Tedesco, Cathy Batbie (producer)and Tim Macnimara about your film AGAIN just now. They are a good and caring news team. They are the ones who helped me get help for our son when we could not afford his medications at the begining of this new year. if you go to Nathan’s site, check Nathan in the news. It’s the one from CNN~
I hope and pray to meet you someday. You are a blessing and I am SO incredibly sorry for your loss of such a precious and close friend. I will be coming w/ my older son Thomas almost 16. Also my friend Judy, who lost her daughter Jennifer to CF at age 30 while she was waiting for a double lung transplant. God bless you and this film. We want to help…
