Donate with Confidence
Some of the most successful charities in the world are those which take modern medicine to underprivileged children in the developing world.
Antibiotics, and other vital medications and even minor surgery are easily transportable. What every doctor discovers, however, when delivering, health care to poor children is the high instance of heart disease among them. Often this is the result of untreated childhood diseases which, though easily treatable in wealthier nations, have weakened the heart and in hundreds of thousands of cases around the world have resulted in blue babies and children barely able to move. The demand this places on families and communities is of unspeakable severity.
Many heart surgeons are willing to donate substantial amounts of time to curing such children, but heart surgery is not transportable. State-of-the-art hospitals must be built and equipment of the highest sophistication must be available for these delicate, life-saving operations.
Surgeons of Hope Foundation builds modern hospitals in the under-developed world, equips them with advanced diagnostic tools, and sends medical missions of the finest heart surgeons in America to do two things:
- To perform pediatric cardiovascular surgery, and
- To train local surgeons to perform these sophisticated procedures.
Hundreds of stories can be told of boys and girls unable to perform the simplest personal tasks, running and playing in only a few days with their friends and siblings. But the need is very great, and the medical facilities are few. Thousands of children are waiting for surgery without hope.
Your contribution of $3,000 will save one life. Your contribution of a million dollars will build a hospital where many lives — reaching into the thousands — will be saved. We at SoH believe that every child deserves to have access to the miracle of modern medicine and technology. With your help, we can make a difference.
