Filotimo Foundation Mati
Adults with cystic fibrosis

Seen & Supported

The mati, or evil eye, is a form of protection. It offers peace and a sense of security.

So do we.

Medications covered. IVF cycles funded. Bills that were crushing you, paid.

A RIPPLE of relief.

The Filotimo Family

We’ve never met a stranger. Adults with CF, social workers, doctors, fertility clinics, friends. They’re all part of the Filotimo Family, where every connection creates a ripple that reaches far beyond one person.

Our Story

Filotimo was founded by Pete Proimos, who has CF himself.

Everything we build comes from lived experience and from seeing how broken the system is for adults with CF. The system is built around survival, not possibility.

We exist to close that gap.
