Ellie's Army Foundation

. . . like Ellie was.

She may be gone,
but her legacy lives on.

Why "Ellie's Army"?

During Ellie’s last days, people from all over the world sent words of hope and encouragement. They became “Ellie’s Army.”

Ellie is gone, but now we continue to fight for other children and young adults battling for their lives. Be a warrior. Join the army today.

Ways You Can Help

Did You Know...?

Without thousands of dollars in liquid assets
a patient will not be accepted into
many life-saving transplant programs.

Ellie’s Army believes that our children’s survival
should not depend upon money!

Watch the Video to Learn About Ellie

This video chronicles the celebration of Ellie Levy’s battle against cystic fibrosis and her fight to survive two back-to-back, double lung transplants. Ellie was a warrior and wanted to help others with life-threatening illnesses.

Ellie’s Army Foundation does just that. In an effort to support others with critical illnesses, we started Ellie’s Fund, which provides financial assistance to lung transplant recipients at Duke University Medical Center.

How We Use Donations

Ellie's Army Foundation always seeks to be as transparent about what your donations are applied to, and primarily spend our funds directly on helping those who need it the most.
