Dear Friends,

The PCRF (PCRF.net) has been delivering life-saving care to children for over 27 years.

The Palestine Children’s Relief Fund was founded in 1991 in the USA to address the medical needs of Arab children in the Middle East.

Charity Navigator has awarded it 4 stars for 6 years running for its stewardship and dedication.

I’m asking all of my friends and family this year to donate at least $1 to changing a child’s life. Don’t like me on FB, don’t tweet me a happy birthday, just give a dollar so that a child can receive life-changing medical attention.

Thank you and love to all,

Raymond

The building of this department was sparked by the untimely death of our founding head social worker, Huda Al Masri, from leukemia in July 2009. At that time, there was no department for children with cancer in the Palestinian ministry of health, meaning that sick patients had to cross military checkpoints on a regular basis – if they could get permits – for treatment. In 2012, we began building the first and only public cancer department for children in Huda’s name at Beit Jala Hospital near the ancient city of Bethlehem. Thanks to thousands of private donors all over the world, we opened the department in April 2013. We continue to support the training of staff, medical missions to the department, repairs, material, and the social and medical needs of patients in the department to continue to ensure that our children fighting this terrible disease have access to the best care possible in the world.
