Palestine Children's Relief Fund

My name is Alistair Cranston, a pediatric aesthetes from the UK. I have had the privilege of working with PCRF for over 20 years. I have undertaken many missions as an anesthesiologist for pediatric cardiac missions since 1999. Following my retirement from clinical practice, I have recently been involved in an in-depth review of anesthesia departments in most of the MOH hospitals in Gaza and the West Bank. This sets out to identify improvements for clinical staff and patients with which PCRF may be able to assist in conjunction with the Palestinian Ministries of Health. I look forward to following up this work next year. Throughout my association with PCRF I have found everyone helpful, organised and dedicated to doing their best to help volunteers and patients.

I have been a volunteer clinician with PCRF for 17 years and have been on 23 missions. PCRF is by far the most helpful, dependable, financially responsible organization I have ever seen. The focus on children in marginalized areas of the middle east and practically never turn a child away. The organization is not religious or political in nature and has no special interests other than helping children with medical conditions. As one who rarely ever joins organizations, I am proud to say that I am part of PCRF. I have served PCRF under many roles: Volunteer, donor, fund raiser, MC, teacher, and local chapter steering committee member.

It has been an exhilarating experience volunteering with PCRF helping deliver eye care and allied health services and training in Palestine and Lebanon since 2000.
We have always felt safe and secure during all of our 40 plus visits, even in Gaza.
We are proud to be part of the PCRF family, along with the hundreds of other volunteers in the numerous other speciality programs that are conducted by PCRF. We are impressed with how well their resources, financial and human, are used.
Thank you for enriching our lives as well.

I’ve been a volunteer with PCRF since 2017. This is truly a charity that provides life-saving and life-changing care for children that are in desperate need. I have personally witnessed this on the ground, while working closely with PCRF field workers, care coordinators, and program managers. Just an incredible group of people all around.

Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF) is a great non-profit organization. It helps children regardless their religion or any other aspects. I know PCRF since 2015 and I'm so loyal to its work and mission. It helps children who can't get the needed treatment

I have taken four trips to Palestine with PCRF and really appreciate the work they do there. I taught about care of newborns, and they really facilitated everything well. They take good care of their volunteers, but more important, help improve the lives of the children in Palestine. It is a good organization to donate to.

This organization is dedicated to improving medical care services and the health of the most vulnerable in Palestine--children. Children are innocent, not driven by politics, and deserve to be cared for by all the adults in this world, and PCRF realizes its goal through direct care programs and support of the doctors who care for these children.

I love this organization. They do excellent work and I have donated frequently over the years. It just seems to be a small organization but they do such good work on the ground. I am not Palestinian but have been to the Jerusalem and the surrounding areas and it is a very, very sad to see the people in such conditions. Especially the children. And this organization is right there helping without any agenda or political bent. Just good people, doing good work.

They hosted children from Gaza who were victims of bombs here in the U.S. over the summer and PCRF took great care of them. I got to attend some of the events they held, met the CEO who is very down to earth, and followed along with these children’s stories. They helped them so much, gave them so many wonderful experiences, and it is such a trustworthy organization that they have my full loyalty.

Wonderful organization! They do such inspiring work and I’ve had nothing but positive experiences with them

I have been a volunteer with PCRF many times as a nurse and have nothing but good things to say about their integrity.
PCRF is very careful in the ways they use the money that is donated.

The Palestine Children’s Relief Fund- PCRF is an amazing non-profit. As a volunteer with the Charlotte Chapter for many years it is my greatest joy to work with them in the US and then visit Palestine to see the work they are doing on the ground.

I have been a donor for years, and I'm impressed with the work that PCRF does in Palestine and other locations at times (in response to emergencies). My wife and I have donated to numerous organizations through the years and thus, I feel that I can knowledgeably rate the work that is ongoing and the stewardship that PCRF maintains. I receive a weekly email with details of completed, ongoing, and future efforts to help the children of Palestine. (I appreciate receiving this information that is relevant, unlike that which I receive from some other non-profits to which we donate on an ongoing basis.)

I'm proud that I can be a part of helping Palestine youth receive the support that is needed, be it medical, therapeutic, counseling, or whatever will assist those in need. The circumstances and conditions of those being helped are largely the result of the failure of politicians, religious leaders, diplomats, and others in authority who continue to ignore making changes that would improve the situations of those in need---not the innocent children.

Glad to be a small part of their work!

PCRF is the world's leading NGO providing direct medical aid to children and families on the ground in Palestine, in addition to providing an array of humanitarian programs that produce heart-warming success stories from children throughout Gaza.

My name is Imad Tabry,MD, Heart surgeon trained at Yale and Mayo Clinic and retired from my practice since 2020 but enamored with mission surgery and quite active in it for several years now.
I was born in Haifa, Palestine, in 1946, but emigrated to Lebanon at age 1 1/2 when my father and his 5 brothers got wind of the Deir Yassin massacre and immediately ran to their summer house in Lebanon, hoping to return at the end of the war. That did not happen and I grew up in Lebanon, going to a French school and Medical school run by Jesuits . I then trained in General surgery at the American University Hospital in Lebanon after which I went to Yale for a 3 year training in cardiac surgery. I was then asked by the AUH to return home as an Attending surgeon but my parents advised me to stay put in the USA due to civil war in Lebanon that lasted rom 1974 to 1990.So I went to Mayo Clinic, Rochester for another 1 year fellowship and then moved to Florida for private practice.
When I was 10 years old, my ophtalmologist father used to take me with him every Thursday to the Palestinian Refugees camps in Beirut where he treated many patients the entire afternoon. On our way back home he would repeatedly admonish me : "WHEN" ( not IF) "you become a doctor, make sure you do like me, help the poor Palestinian Refugees..."
I was happy in my private practice of adult cardiac surgery in Fort Lauderdale and totally forgot my father's advice until the year 2000, while I was in the operating room doing a difficult case and a colleague Plastic surgeon entered the room and apologized for his interruption. He quickly asked me if the situation in Beirut was back to normal which I confimed. He then said that a Steve Sosebee who ran the Palestinian Children Relief Fund had invited him to volunteer in the Palestinian Refugees camp in Beirut to repair cleft lips on little children. On his way out he asked me if I was interested in doing surgery on those refugees and I immediately said "Of course I do, I am Palestinian like them". Within the week , and while in surgery, I received a call from Mr Sosebee who invited me for a mission in Beirut.My entire open heart team immediately volunteered to accompany me. I put together a team of 7, myself, an anesthesiologist, a jewish cardiologist from the Cleveland Clinic, a Perfusionist and 3 top notch nurses. The mission, I was later informed, would take place in Gaza, not Beirut and this did not bother me as I was not familiar with the situation there. In early September 2020 the entire team landed in BenGurion airport only to find out that the Second Intifada had started between Gaza Palestinians and Israelis causing scores of deaths and injuries.
After being allowed into Gaza the entire team was asked to remain in a condo and the only one allowed out was myself to operate on many injuries. Several days later the situation calmed down and we were able to perform 12 heart surgeries without problems.
In my subsequent 15 missions in Gaza I made many friends among colleagues and coworkers . As a matter of fact 3 individuals from Gaza, a prison where no one is allowed out by air, sea or land, came to visit me in Florida: Drs Gharbieh and Housny came with a special invitation to teach them anesthesia for bypass surgery without having to stop the heart and Dr Zammar came in for an international cardiology meeting to stay up to date with his specialty.Most importantly I met Steve and found out that he was an outstanding Humanitarian , a Christian who quit his journalist job in Israel to dedicate his entire life to helping Palestinian Refugees in Gaza but also in the West Bank!! He married a beautiful Gaza girl ,Houda,lived there and had 2 daughters with her..
Steve spends his time traveling to the Arab world to raise donations for his nonprofit foundation, the PCRF, and also put together several international meetings where the PCRF volunteers presented the results off their work in Palestine and discussed the terrible conditions Palestinians were living in, particularly in the Gaza Strip. I learned early on that Steve had arranged for several surgeons and medical doctors to come to Gaza from all over the world to operate on needy refugees who did not have the alternative nor the means to cross into Israel for their treatment. Furthermore he arranged for many patients who could not be operated locally to travel with one close family member to major international Institutions in Italy, France, the USA among others where the care was offered gratis!
For all these reasons I call Steve Saint Steve because his nonprofit Foundation, the PCRF, and his dedication to the cause of the poor refugees are unique and deserve my and everone else's admiration and support.

The most honest nonprofit that I have ever been a part of. PCRF truly helps the children of Palestine.

PCRF is an amazing and transparent organization. The work it does for kids in the Middle East is incredible. The medical relief and humanitarian aid, saves lives, and improves the quality of children's lives for the long term.

Amazing work!
Nonprofit organization that is easy to donate to and they do amazing work helping young children with medical needs.

Thank you

PCRF is an incredible organization that genuinely serves humanity! A role model for humanitarianism.

PCRF makes a significant difference in Palestinian kids life.

This is an inspiring and touching organization making a palpable difference on the ground in the lives of the children of Palestine.

Despite the Gaza office being destroyed, and ongoing conflict in the region, the team on the ground has relentlessly continued their work and are providing the much-needed medical/surgical care, supplies, and support to keep the community going.

If you are looking to support a nonprofit for Palestine, I can't think of a better organization to donate your money to.

PCRF is an incredible humanitarian organization that I’ve had the honor of supporting for years. They are well organized, efficient and transparent. By providing medical care and resources that aren’t available locally to many, PCRF saves thousands of children's lives in the Middle East each year. Thank you, PCRF, for making this world a better place!

PCRF has been our most important humanitarian organization for about about 15 years. We have met many PCRF staff and observed social workers, physicians and nurses in the West Bank and Gaza overcome enormous obstacles to provide important pediatric care. The 2 oncology units in Palestine are state-of-the-art facilities. We have also experienced our San Diego chapter arrange free, complicated surgery and housing for children who were sent here for treatment.

All PCRF staff and volunteers we have met in Palestine and the US, including President Steve Sosebee, are extraordinarily dedicated to their mission. Steve and his entire staff focus on getting the best care for children. They put every dollar to the best use.

We believe there is no better way than supporting PCRF that we can help so many children in need.

PCRF is a great organization. It's the only non-profit organization in the middle east which helps the vulnerable and disabled children regardless their nationality or religion.

It worth more than 5 stars for the dedicated team who work day and night to serve children in need.

PCRF is one of the most ethically and professionally run nonprofit organizations out there. I'm working for about 21 years and I love seeing and being a part of their amazing work.

The most touching thing about PCRF is its honesty with the beneficiaries.
their humanity and the noble job is admired and respected.
may they continue helping Palestinian children

PCRF is an amazing humanitarian organization. It has changed the lives of thousands of children and saved the life of thousands more. It is transparent , fiscally responsible and the work they do is visible to all. Proud to be a volunteer with this organization and all the great things they are doing .

I have been following the PCRF for several years, as I wanted to see the result of their work given that I am a regular donor. I love that they are apolitical and laser-focused on helping children. It is my preferred charity; and I’ve even selected it as such for my Amazon Smile purchases. Few groups work so tirelessly and put so much of the money they receive directly into the programs they operate.

Amazing organization that is transparent in its dealings and has a great presence around the world

PCRF is a very transparent organization , and trust worthy that the needed help goes to needed people .

I am blessed and honored to be part of PCRF legacy ♥️

I got introduced to the PCRF over ten years ago. It was heartbreaking and heartwarming, all at the same time to know so many children needed help, but also that there are even more kind hearted individuals that care. PCRF does a great job at matching the two and give hope to those who had lost it. This renews my faith in humanity. The PCRF definitely puts the needs of children first and I am proud to say that I am a member of this extraordinary extended family!

PCRF reaches to deprived people needs, I have witnessed the agenies of children with cancer in Palestine, they were hopless until PCRF built two huge departments in Palestine which provided the proper healing and hope to those children

One of the best and transparent INGOs in Palestine!

I have seen PCRF make a difference in kids’ lives in Middle East like no other organization, providing treatment to children with disease or injury that otherwise would have never had the opportunity and a chance at life.

My experience was great as I was part of the team and what they do is so amazing

I see that this organization has become the main hope for thousands of families in Palestine that provides them with medical, humanitarian and psychological relief.

As a critical care doctor normally found worldwide with 40 years experience. Patient centered care is tattooed on my heart.
I have been following your great charity and can not wait hopefully 2022.to head over and give you 12 weeks salary free service.
Your standards I have followed for years Steve is a 5 star gentleman. But all staff from cleaning to medical are all super stars.
I pray each night for you all and can not wait to see you.

The PCRF is an essential nonprofit to the children of the Middle East and especially Palestine. Working with this organization has shown me the level of care and compassion that PCRF staff and volunteers have for helping the less fortunate. This organization is professional, dedicated, and inspiring. Most importantly, it is life-changing for those it touches. It provides much-needed medical and humanitarian care for children affected by war and trauma, and unwaveringly exhibits high levels of transparency, honesty, and work ethic. The number of children saved, whose lives have changed speaks for itself.

PCRF is meeting a critical need for Palestinian children both within Palestine and in the refugee diaspora.

PCRF has provided a platform for me to make a difference on the ground. Donating and providing for the critical needs of all Palestinians within Palestine and those in the refugee camps. There are no words to describe my immense gratitude to the PCRF team for everything they do.

Transparent organization. Love all the success stories

PCRF actively seeks to find the disadvantaged children that suffer from chronic diseases and other birth defects. Two weeks ago, a post on social media talked about 2 kids who are diagnosed with cancer and are not getting their chemotherapy due to their family’s poor financial situation. Within one week, the family was approached by PCRF and the kids were admitted to Huda AlMasri Cancer Department. This is just a small example of PCRF’s major influence in the Palestinian lands.

Great organization! PCRF changes lives. I saw this many times with all the projects that are being implemented in Palestine and the Middle East.

The work that this organization has done for Palestinian children and other non Palestinian children in need of medical care is truly humbling .. I’ve personally met several children that have been able to come to the U.S and recieve care at several hospitals all because of the work of amazing volunteers that are dedicated to Pcrf .

PCRF is one of the most ethically and professionally run nonprofit organizations out there. I have been a volunteer for about 5 years and I love seeing and being a part of their amazing work.

The best charity out there to care for children in the Levant. I volunteer with this organisation and know the great work that is being don’t on daily basis and believe in their mission

Best charity that I have ever been associated with. Knowing that there is little to no overhead and that the funds go to helping innocent children receive medical care, makes donating and volunteering to PCRF easy.

Amazing organization with clear vision, smart and diverse board members that are willing to do what’s needed to improve & better the lives of so many children who need love, support, and medical attention . I'm in my fifth year as volunteer with PCRF and it has been a life-changing experience.
Again , PCRF is a an excellent and well run nonprofit organization. I recommend PCRF to anyone looking to donate to a worthy cause.

I have been volunteering with PCRF for over three years now. It has been an absolutely incredible experience for me, and being able to see the kids we help and save first hand is extremely heart warming and a one of a kind experience. PCRF is the most transparent, straight forward non-profit that allows you the comfort and knowledge of knowing exactly where the money you are donating will be put to use. I will continue to serve as a volunteer for this organization as long as I possibly can!

Working with the PCRF has been a life changing experience for me. I was fortunate enough to be involved in a leg prosthetic case in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The PCRF staff did an amazing job in prepping us on the case and guiding us through the process of receiving medical treatment and recovery. This organization is bringing hope and light back into these children’s lives and improving their quality of life.

I was first introduced to this organization while volunteering for another not for profit. Throughout my teenage and adult life, I have always been involved in many different humanitarian organizations but none like this one. They have paved the road to be involved in a way like no other. I was given the opportunity to open my home for a young girl who was just 8 years old, traveling over 3 countries alone, to get medical attention, my daughters and I have learned so much from this experience that I couldn't even begin to word it. I have met the CEO, the Board of Directors, the many volunteers, and in every aspect, you can think of their mission is truly and purely humanitarian, no strings attached. As human beings, we all in one way or another need a helping hand, from as small as a kind word to as big as a life-altering surgery, and the PCRF is that helping hand that we all need. It opens the doors to the children, to our future, it gives them a smile, a different perspective and looks at life. I can just go on forever and ever and I still couldn't describe the amazing work that they do, they people behind the scenes, those on the ground and the common goal, whether it's dealing with their employees or the children in need. IT SCREAMS IT LIVES IT BREATHS HUMANITARIAN!!!

As a member of the Rutgers University chapter, my engagement with this organization has provided not only a sense of purpose to me as an individual, but also the platform to serve an underrepresented population of children that are in dire need of care. I couldn’t be more proud of my attachment to this organization.

PCRF is an amazing humanitarian organization. This is an organization is concerned with the wellbeing of all children regardless of religion, race or ethnic origin. This is a transparent and active organization that is doing great work around the world!

PCRF has changed my life. As a Palestinian American, I feel a strong sense of responsibility to help my people back home who are not as lucky to be in a country where they can prosper. PCRF gives me an outlet to see and touch the children from Palestine and Middle East and help them beyond donating on a website. I’m able to meet the travel abroad patients face to face or I’m able to visit the cancer departments. I don’t know any other organization that provides that kind of community and so grateful to be part of PCRF.

Thank you for all the work you do! We really Lear’s a lot and look forward to working further with PCRF.

Im very happy to work with u guys and very proud of all of u for all of u hard work to help our kids in Palestine

I am so proud to be part of this organization! PCRF makes huge impact on the Palestinian children’s life!

It all began from word of mouth; there was an incredible organization that helped kids in Middle East get the healthcare they have a right to. During one of the benefit dinners, I was hooked. The impression the CEO left on me that night was, “I want to help this organization in any way I can.” The care and respect they give these kids, from cancer patients to amputees, was exceptional. I was happy to donate and volunteer as much as I could. I was impressed by the fact that the PCRF is fueled by an outpouring of support from all over the world and the smiles on the faces of kids in Syria to Gaza who finally get the medicine and care they need, was all I needed to continue my support for the PCRF.

This is one of the best run organizations in the US that is dedicated to help Palestinian Children and their families. I am happy to have been able to volunteer with them on occasion. They are organized, communicative and transparent.

PCRF is an incredible non profit organization, I was honored to work along with many amazing people whom i met through PCRF that became like family, PCRF is a dedicated organization helping children in the middle east through medical missions, PCRF is the healing hand to those helpless children, I will always be a supporter.

Working with the PCRF has had an incredible impact on the empathic ability and cultural competency of medical students at my university. Volunteering with this non-profit has helped medical students improve and deepen their understanding of professionalism, humanism, and how to best serve marginalized and underserved children abroad. The PCRF is an exceptional model for how all children of our world deserve to be treated with dignity, love, care, and respect.

Amazing non profit that helps so many children in need of medical care. I have been a supporter of them for many years and was able to volunteer in their fundraising events. It warms my heart to know all these amazing and passionate human beings exist working day and night to help those beautiful children. Thank you for all you do!

I'm amazed at all the work they do. They show their work with their results and have helped so many children. This organization's capabilities, passion and love for their work goes beyond descriptive words or phrases. The PCRF is never shy to explain why each dollar is raised, nor are they timid to explain the diseases children in Palestine have and why they need your help. This organization is transparent and the CEO works just as hard as his volunteers and staff to ensure the objectives are met ,to the tee. I will forever be greatful for the work they do.

They always do what they promise to do with their donations. They are a wholesome and caring organization from top to bottom. Their transparency is impressive!!!

I have been on the PCRF Rutgers chapter board for two years now. I can honestly say it's been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. PCRF is consistently a top rated charity, and I am proud to work for such an effective and transparent organization.

PCRF has helped our community bring three children from the Middle East for medical care in Columbus Ohio. I have also personally seen the facilities in Palestine that are helping children locally to better their lives

I am a frequent volunteer since the year 2000 for PCRF in all the mideast regions that they serve. I am thankful for and amazed at the dedication this organization has to serving all the people in the areas they serve. This is an effective and exemplary organization delivering medical services and other needed educational and social services to these regions.

Such a great organization that dedicated themselves to our most needed children. Thank you for all you do.

I have visited PCRFs first Cancer department for children in Palestine first hand to see the amazing work done to help these sick children. I have seen children come to the US and then return home after life changing surgery.

I was honored to work with the PCRF as a Volunteer Nurse. Visiting Families in Palestine I saw firsthand the hard work, dedication and respect the staff had for everyone they encountered. They are a wonderful Humanitarian Organization!
Janet Kovacs RN

A great organization, helping thousands of children in need in the Middle East by providing them medical and humanitarian assistance like any other organization in the area.

I had the privilege of serving many sick and injured children, from Palestine, Syria and Jordan, who couldn’t afford medical treatment in their homeland, through volunteering with The PCRF in Dubai. The transparency, commitment and love shown from everyone involved in running the organization, made not only me, but all the parties I worked with, individuals and corporates, want to give more as we were able to witness firsthand, how the donations were being used in the most efficient and transparent manner. PCRF has changed the lives of many children in the Middle East and I am humbled to have been part of it.

An amazing organization doing groundbreaking work in the Middle East

PCRF is the best humanitarian charity out there. As a volunteer, I met several of the children that have been helped by the PCRF.. I have seen the selfless devotion and sacrifices of the doctors, and the impact of their work directly. Exery dollar donated is used most efficiently to the care of the children. I'm a supporter for life!

An amazing organization that works endlessly to help children in need!

Palestine Children's Relief Fund is an incredible organization that I have been fortunate to volunteer with for about 3 years now. As a physician on medical missions with them, I find them extremely skilled at locating and accessing children across the middle east with the greatest needs, organizing an approach to provide services to them, fundraising on a grassroots level to avoid the conflicts of governmental funds, and being both transparent and incredibly efficient in their use of those funds. I strongly recommend them as an NGO for any healthcare provider, donor, or community organizer to donate their time and/or money to.

I have seen first hand the impact on the overall wellbeing and confidence that Pcrf has had on the children they have treated. Scars of trauma are a hindrance to the development of children, which are often not very costly to treat. But with the limited resources that these families have - the help of charities such as th Pcrf does a long way in changing their lives. Pcrf is a wonderful charity whose dedication of its staff and volunteers has affected the lives of thousands of children in the Middle East for the better !

What's beautiful about the PCRF.. is that the team works with such heart and soul. They've been around for a while, but have NEVER lost their passion and commitment to healing those precious tiny humans. They've made their approach powerfully personal.. I feel so connected to the children I'm supporting when I receive video updates of how they're progressing. I can not recommend a better and purer organization than this one. Utmost gratitude to all of you at the PCRF.

Great organization. Great leadership. Growing steadily and fast. Very transparent when it comes to financials and results. Drives to make a difference in the children lives who are in need of medical attention. Check to see if you have a local chapter nearby to support their efforts.

This is an exceptional Charity operating with the support of a wide network of volunteers composed of medical professionals and non medical field professionals from all over the world and staff presence in West Banks, Gaza, Jordan, Lebanon and the USA.
Thousands and thousands of children's medical and humanitarian needs have been met because of the PCRF and its various projects and campaigns. 25 years of serving the children the Middle East and counting.

through the PCRF; I knew I was capable of doing something to those who were in need even though I was not an influential character; a millionaire or a doctor. I was an ordinary person who is capable of adding something of value to lives of others.

I've been following PCR and their amazing work for a while now. I am overwhelmed with the unselfish work they do providing excellent medical care and humanitarian aid for sick and injured children, regardless of nationality or religion. I share their stories with family and friends every chance I get. PCR is a true example of the humanity each of us should have.

PCRF is the premier organization providing medical care to the children of the Middle East. The organization and grass roots funding for pcrf is phenomenal. I have served on medical missions with the organization, and I am a member of the Chicago chapter. I love everything about PCRF, and I am honored to be a part of such an extraordinary organization!

A sui generis foundation with a cause that goes above and beyond mere charitable support. It is a foundation that aims for funding humanity through collective benevolence, love and care.

I have been on medical missions for PCRF and they do exactly what they say they do and so much more. Amazing people doing amazing work for the most beautiful children in the world.

Whenever a friend of mine is in a charitable mood and asks for a recommendation of a worthy recipient, I always respond with four letters- PCRF. They are transparent, efficient, friendly, and do great work. They always provide updates on how your contributions are being used, and make you feel connected and inspired in their actions- helping children!

Life changing charity to many kids in need. Regardless of their race, religion, nationality or age PCRF is dedicated to help children that are either a victim of war or born with a congenital disease , deformity or illness . PCRF changed so many kids lives to the better and will continue to do so. It was very touching to me to see what they have done so far and it was a life changing experianceً.

PCRF is a well organized charity that helps all kid regardless of religion or origin in the middle east. I have seen the work this charity first hand . Over the years , I met with the doctors that treated kids in the middle east, met with kids who left their families for a long period of time , to come to the states for treatment , which they stay with host family's. Can't express my Feelings what PCRF do for the kids in need. Keep up the great work , will always have my support.

My family has been actively involved with the PCRF chapter in Atlanta since 2011. For the past two years, my son has served as Youth Coordinator for the Atlanta chapter. My family of six has attended PCRF's two well-organized and highly successful fundraising Galas, has helped host children who have traveled to Atlanta to be treated, and have volunteered and attended many of PCRF-Atlanta's activities in the past almost three years.

Not only has it been immeasurably rewarding to see how well monies raised are used, our whole family has learned much about the culture and politics of this region of the world. We have benefited from helping to welcome two children from the West Bank who traveled to Atlanta to receive medical treatment.

PCRF is an organization that truly merits every dollar that is given to support its cause to provide free medical care to youth from the Middle East, without regard to politics, race or religion.

Christine Solomon

My first experience with PCRF was this April attending their fundraising dinner event in Chicago. I was impressed by the level of organization and professionalism. I believe that this organization is doing great work helping Children in Gaza. I admire the amount of work and dedication that the members of this organization are offering for its cause.

PCRF is an incredible organization that focuses on the hardest hit war torn areas and provides essential supplies and life saving care to those most at need. Thier unwavering dedication and efforts are awe-inspiring. Those that head and volunteer at PCRF are truly selfless and caring individuals that only look to do the best for these children.

PCRF is an organization that has made a world of difference for children who knew nothing but cruelty of the world around them. The people who make up PCRF are truly selfless humans who have ascended beyond any bias or discrimination to help people who have been ignored by all including by humanity itself.

It's great to be a part of an organization that helps children of any age, culture in need of medical care. The group of volunteers are dedicated and compassionate about the cause.

The kids are nothing short of amazing! They are children, and not patients. When they cry, we comfort them; when they are in pain, we hold them and then when they smile, we smile too. We salute them for their bravery and take pride when they reach their milestones. You cannot help but fall in love.

PCRF is a great non profit organization they help Kids in need everywhere they do nat necessarily have to be from palestine. PCRF is by far my favorite organization in the world it is great.

Volunteering with PCRF has been an amazing and rewarding experience. It provides sick and injured children an opportunity at a better life and allows volunteers to take part in that process. Being able to see first hand the lives of these children improve makes volunteering with PCRF that much more meaningful.

Prior to my involvement with PCRF, I traveled to the Occupied Territories and Gaza in 2012. I witnessed the grossly inadequate medical facilities there. While in Gaza I saw that the work done by PCRF plays a substantial role in providing medical treatment of children that require surgery. Without PCRF many of the children would not have had the level of treatment that their condition requires.The medical missions (arranged by PCRF), by surgeons from around the world is vital and in many cases the surgery is life saving.

The PCRF brought 4 children from the Middle east to the Atlanta Area for treatment where they would not have gotten it in their native countries. I applaud this great effort by this organization and will continue to support them

As a volunteer in the PCRF, I am able to physical see and experience what this organization does for the patients and their families, no words can describe the rewards. What most do not anticipate when first exploring this great cause is the amount of courage and self discovery these patients experience. It has most definitely made me appreciative and humble to have been a part of these children's lives. I look forward to many more years of involvement with many more children hosted in Detroit, for they have changed my life and I can only hope to continue to try to change theirs for the better.

I have been involved with PCRF since 2007. I am currently an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon and have been a part of three separate missions with PCRF to the West Bank. I have never met a group of people who are more compassionate and devoted to helping others than the PCRF team I have had the privilege of working with. The surgeons, anesthesiologist, social workers, organizers and support staff are all extremely dedicated people and truly care about serving those in need. I have also never met a group of people more appreciative of the service we are able to provide them, their hospitality is unmatched. I plan on continuing to join the PCRF team on missions to the West Bank on an annual basis. Organizations like PCRF are why I decided to follow this career path.

I am an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, I volunteered for a mission to the Palestine city of Nablus on November 2013. I was totally impressed with the commitment from all the PCRF persons. We were treating children with dentofacial deformities.
I definitively will volunteer again, the patient's families were so grateful with all the team, and looking the simile of our patients after treatment is the best reward i have got so far product of my job.

I am involved as an Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon. I was honored to be a part of a team whose goal is to look after children who don't have options in their homeland. Travelling to the West Bank allows these children to be treated near their home and eases the burden that their dentofacial deformities have placed on them and their parents. The people are genuine and grateful. I will continue to volunteer for this charity

I have been volunteering with the PCRF for 5 years as an Oral and a Maxillofacial Surgeon; I have traveled annually to the West Bank city of Nablus to provide care to children affected by unfortunate facial deformities. I chose to continue volunteering with the PCRF because of the organization’s strong commitment to the health and well-being of these unfortunate children as well as their commitment to meeting the long term health needs of the society.
The PCRF provides our surgical team with the resources necessary to provide state of the art health care. The most valuable resource that is provided to us as health care providers is a strong network of social workers who go above and beyond to assure that the children and the families are supported in the preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative periods. Material resources such as surgical equipment and anesthesia support provided are comparable to those used in first world health care centers.
The most admirable goal of PCRF is the creation of a self-sustaining health care team locally. There is a strong commitment that I feel when I travel to the West Bank to the education and training of local surgeons, nurses, and social workers. PCRF’s commitment to this goal will bring a transformation to the quality of health care, as well as to the access to health care in the society.
This organization is one worth supporting. It has noble goals and operates with great transparency. I feel very privileged to be volunteering with this incredible team.

I can't speak enough about PCRF. It's an amazing organization that serves children in need who want to enjoy being normal, many children have become where they are in their lives now because of the dedicated hard working members, and surgeons who put their lives in risk to support this wonderful cause. I've attended many events for PCRF and I've seen the positive results and impact they achieve every year. I'm proud of you all, and keep up the hard work.

My family has had a long history of supporting PCRF and for myself, the more I have learned about PCRF, the more impressed and committed I am to the mission and great work this humanitarian non-profit organization is doing. Real-life examples of changing lives. PCRF is one of my preferred and favorite charities. I look forward to sharing with my friends and colleagues and encourage them to support this great work. Kudos to all the chapters that are working together to help these youth with medical issues.

My first experience with PCRF was in January participating in their Climb of Hope campaign to take the first two teenage amputees to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro. The leadership on Steve Sosebee and the compassion and energy of the local teams left me humbled, impressed and more connected to a non-profit more than ever before. PCRF accomplishes having a sense of urgency paired with thoughtfulness and an attitude of sharing and creating history that you feel compelled to be apart of. I look forward to staying involved for many, many years to come.

There is no other organization I know that shows the results of the work you put in like this one. You not only get to see the children they bring from overseas who are in extreme need of medical attention but you are help these kids through every step. This organization changed so many lives, but my own has been forever influenced by these kids and these organisers. God bless the PCRF

As a longtime supporter of PCRF, I am especially sensitive to its mission and focus on helping needy children find the medical care they so desperately need. For years now -- first in Southern California and now in Atlanta -- i have witnessed first-hand the transformative nature of PCRF's humanitarian work. Whether it be on the children's faces when they take the first tentative step with their new prosthetic leg or the joy on their parents' faces at seeing their children achieve goals long-sought but only now realized, PCRF's mission and goals are constantly being reaffirmed. PCRF positively impacts all who come into contact with the organization, from the children and the families it serves to the donors and supporters and wonderful medical personnel who so altruistically give of themselves and their skills.

PCRF is an important charity to me. Its very close to my heart. Every year I look forward to attending this special event. I am always amazed by the work that doctors from all over the country do to all the Children that need medical assistance. It is the only charity that I trust and know that my money is going for a great cause. I feel very passionate about this event and I have also got my family and kids involved in it and now we all look forward together to attending this yearly event. I will continue to spread the word about this amazing charity in hopes that we get more and more people involved.

I am very selective about the charities I support, and there is no doubt about PCRF. The more I learned about the organization, the more I felt confident that every penny I gave would go towards helping sick and injured children from the Middle East. I wholeheartedly support this organization.

PCRF is the one charity I wholeheartedly support with confidence. They are trustworthy and do honorable work. It is also the one charity whose events my family and I look forward to attending year after year. They really allow you to get a transparent look at how and where your donations are going. I appreciate all the hard work and efforts of the PCRF founders and their volunteers. I look forward to many more years of continued support.

When I first became involved I realized how transparent
PCRF is. Every penny that came to our chapter was documented as
Well as every expense we had. The volunteers are giving of their time to help children
with medical needs unconditionally.

I was first introduced to PCRF 14 years ago, as a young organization in its early beginnings. I fell in love with PCRF and continue to be more in love with it for all the life saving medical care it provides to children in need, and for the life changing opportunities it provides to volunteers by giving them a great cause to be passionate about. The organization's main focus over the years has always been the children, and nothing else. I couldn't be more proud and more grateful that PCRF exists and that I am part of it.

This is the one organziation I can trust where my money goes. May it grow and serve more kids freely around the country.

One of the only charities I am fully comfortable donating and volunteering for. I have total trust that PCRF will always aim to keep adminstrative costs astoundingly low and give children in need the maximum benefits. So proud to be a part of this amazing organization!

PCRF is an amazing organization that I have been supporting for years! Their mission is to help the small children in the middle east who have lost hope and bring them medical treatment that they never dreamed they will ever receive. I have also had the honor to meet a lot of the members of PCRF and seen first hand the amount of dedication and work they put into this organization just so they can help these kids. I can't speak enough about this organization and will always be a big supporter for them. Keep up the amazing work PCRF!!!

PCRF is one of the most genuine organizations I've came to learn of. They represent and do all I wish to do and can not, which is to give the help and the healthcare services to every child that needs it. When I give to this organization I don't just feel that I helped a child, I feel that I am part of an organization that will make a difference generations to come. Every child helped will pay it forward somehow and will make our world that much better. The last event I attended was very informative and heart warming.

There are very few organizations out there that truly adhere to the humanistic elements and the values of life. PCRF is among those organizations and writing a review is just not enough to explain the things they do. The efforts of its members are eye-opening, life-changing, and make me proud of supporting such a wonderful group in our community.

I am truly amazed by PCRF. This is an organization with an exceptional mission and an impressive record of achievements. PCRF continues to touch the lives of so many children with so little or no hope. As a board member of a sister org for supporting children with cancer, I find myself looking up to PCRF for inspiration. This is an org that's driven by a group of dedicated founders and volunteers. I am always excited to support PCRF and its admirable cause.

I have known Steve and PCRF since 1997. He's the most dedicated, honest and tireless individual I met. PCRF has given a ray of hope to thousands of children around the world. Me and family will only support PCRF knowing that every dollar we donate goes to assist chldren who are less fortunate.

Proud sponsor of PCRF.

PCRF are that rare organization that far exceeds anyone's expectations and leaves you in awe. Their dedication and selflessness shows the action of their utter impact in peoples lives is unmatched. A literally life-saving organization. My commendations.

PCRF is an amazing and outstanding organization. They do so much to help seriously ill children everywhere. I’ve been volunteering with PCRF for more than 4 years and I just can't say enough about this WONDERFUL group of dedicated volunteers with a common value of humanity and kindness towards healing sick children. I am honored to be a part of this nonprofit organization.

My relationship with PCRF started when my friend hosted a little girl from Gaza. I was impressed from the beginning with these passionate volunteers who all have the same mission. They were so organized and detail oriented from the early interview process to the day the little girl went home. I am blessed and privileged that I shared this journey with my friend. An amazing organization that I will be a lifetime donor too!! Keep up the good work, and thank you for changing these children lives forever.

The Palestine Childrens Relief Fund is the greatest way of helping Palestinian children. This organization is composed of doctors, therapists and other professionals who want to truly better the quality of life for Children in general.

My friend not only sponsored a child but had her live with her while she received the surgery she needed. It was a life changing experience not only for her and the child but for her daughters, her friends, and the girl's family as well.

I work hard for my money, and therefore I like to know that the money I donate is working hard as well. I have done my research on many organizations, and sadly I see that many of these charity organizations are making more money to pay off their own salaries, then they are giving to those who need it. When I did my research I was content with Palestine Children Relief Fund, I knew and could sleep at night knowing that my money was not going to anyone monthly car payment, it was going straight to the children who need it. If anyone ever asked me where they should donate their money, this organization is the first to be uttered. God Bless the PCRF and everyone involved with them.

PCRF is one of the most impressive organizations I have seen in many years. Over the past 5 years, I have had the pleasure of getting to know their work in detail and I have attended many of their events. Their work is truly amazing and it shows in the enthusiasm of the volunteers, the doctors, the donors, and certainly their patients. I have volunteered with many non-profits that serve the community, but have never witnessed the level of commitment as I have seen from the PCRF team. The life-changing impact PCRF has on the lives of so many children is truly the most inspiring and heartwarming work I have ever seen.

PCRF consists of some of the most genuinely selfless people I have ever met. They dedicate so much of their time and energy to help those who are unable to help themselves. Unfortunately, children usually go unnoticed or unattended in the midst of political unrest. PCRF focuses on providing these children with essential medical attention necessary for the chance of a better life. Their annual fundraising dinner is always a well-organized, fun and informative event. Overall, PCRF is truly a wonderful organization of amazingly brave people granting medical attention to the beautiful children of the Middle East. May their efforts not go unrewarded.

AMAZING AMAZING organization with such a selfless goal of assisting children in war stricken countries to get the aid they otherwise wouldn't be able to. They are some of the most hardworking, dedicated, selfless, generous group of people I know. Their goal is to just make a difference in this world and most importantly in these children's lives. Incredible organizations that surpasses others in my views.

PCRF is doing great work. I've met some of the volunteers and they are the most caring, selfless people, and their cause is more than worthy. Everyone speaks of a better world, the volunteers and members of PCRF are out there making it happen.

PCRF is a wonderful organization. They have been working hard for several years to ensure that they can provide medical care to as many children as they can. Their efforts have been recognized through their work when sending doctors abroad, or when sponsoring a patient for medical care in the US and much more.

PCRF has exceeded my expectations in the support and care they offer. I hope many join in and follow in their footsteps! They put religion and politics aside and do what's right. It doesn't matter who what where or why you need help they just act. No better example of a great organization have I been able to find like them.

The PCRF is one of the most respected organizations both in the US and overseas for the excellent work that they do in providing free medical care for children in the Middle East on a non-political basis. I'm impressed that they are able to treat so many children for free, so the donations that they receive go a long way in helping so many kids.

I appreciate the attitude of PCRF. They don't place blame nor do they complain. They simply give love and medical care to children in need. PCRF is also fiscally responsible.

PCRF is one of the most prestigious organization I have ever seen . It does tremendous efforts in providing the children in need the medical care regardless of religion , race and political orientation .PCRF achieved very great results from very simple possibilities depending on their great network of volunteers which reflects a high level of transparency and professionalism.
I’ll keep on proceeding support them as much as I can since I’m inspiring from these group of wonderful volunteers hardworking , dedication , passion and determination .I believe it is our moral obligation to support and assist them to accomplish their noble targets in creating the simile for plight people.

PCRF has done an amazing job bringing our fellow brothers and sisters the help they need, i always come to tears of joy just seeing a smile on them. I hope one day a can volunteer to help one of these childeren. Keep up the great work . GOD BLESS YOU ALL for every thing you have done for these children.

PCRF is a great organization doing everything it can to ensure kids in the Middle East get the medical they need to have a life without pain and disease. They have volunteers who fearlessly go to areas that politically unstable to provide top notch medical care.

I've been volunteering with PCRF for over 5 years now, and what attracted me to it is its transparency & efficiency in getting the help to those who need it the most regardless of religion, ethnicity or social background. Its quite a humbling experience when you meet the kids themselves and see how their recovery progresses and how high their spirits remain. The beautiful thing about PCRF is that the more familiar you become with its work on the ground in the Middle East, the more you see how great of an impact it has on thousands of children's lives every year!

I did not hesitate to volunteer for PCRF the first time I heard about the organization. Many kids in the Middle East are left in the cold and thanks to PCRF for providing them with medication and a piece of mind. Steve & Huda god bless both of you for the amazing job you do to the kids. I will keep donating, spreading the word, volunteering as long as this organization is in existence..

The PCRF is one of the most active, respected, transparent and hard-working nonprofits providing medical care for sick and injured kids in the Middle East. Each year, thousands of children get free medical care that they otherwise would not get, at very minimal admin costs.

PCRF is one miraculous organization existing on earth! Saving the lives of many children who either cannot afford their treatment or dont have access to it. By caring for these children, they are giving them their childhood and hope for life back. What can I say to thank them and praise them enough for that?! I can't. I will just continue to support them for everything they do.

As a future nurse, my dream is to volunteer with PCRF one day and be part of this great humanitarian team.
God Bless everyone who has contributed their time and skills to help save the lives of our children.
And God bless PCRF for all that they do! :) You are all amazing!

I have read and heard lots about this organization, and nothing but good came out of it. Though recently, I saw first hand what they are all about. I applied and was accepted to be a host mother for one of the many children they sent abroad for medical treatment. Before the young 8 year old girl arrived here in the United States, and into my home; I was touched and speechless, to the dedication and sincerity the local chapter Volunteers had. They go above and beyond what a volunteer is, and I can only thank them for opening up my eyes even more. I am whole heartily dedicated to this organization in everything that they do.

My four month experience with hosting this young girl impacted so many people, as was I, but I was impacted most by how smooth, how considerate, how loving, how dedicated each and everyone of these Volunteers were in handling this case, and to think they not only had this one case at the time, they had about a dozen others, lets not also forget about their daily home and work life. From the 'head honcho' CEO Steve Sosebee to the PR lady whom I adore following me around with her camera, and the ones who I never met only through email, the are all number 1 in my book. I have dealt with over a dozen organizations, and nothing hit home or felt right like this one!! God Bless Them for all what they do. Keep Up the Amazing Work!!

I visited the PCRF in Palestine recently for three weeks and I was given a tour by President and CEO Steve Sosebee. He showed me the ICU unit in Makassad Hospital where PCRF brings doctors from around the globe to perform open-heart surgeries on children, a one of a kind program in Palestine. I was also shown where PCRF was to build the first-ever cancer department in Beit Jala, which is in Bethlehem. I visited the homes of families who PCRF had already helped and those that were eagerly waiting for their children to be treated. We gave toys away to sick children in Makassad Hospital, Sosebee's daughters gave them to the sick children. And, I visited the staff in West Bank, and met the Program Manager from Gaza, Suheil.

As my trip neared it's end, I was amazed at the organization. I met teams of medical professionals that arrived to perform cardiac surgery, an Italian and a Belgian team. I heard their stories and how their inspiration came to them. I heard how Steve, single handedly, approached doctors one by one to recruit them to this worthwhile organization. I was touched and will never stop helping the PCRF in any way possible.
