Hello! I am Abed Al-Sheikh, Case Western Reserve University Chapter Founder and President, and I wanted to share with you all today about the meaning your donation has to not only the children of the Middle East but the impactful message you are delivering to all of humanity. This is a newly established (est. 2023) university chapter under the national and accredited non-profit Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF) organization; it is the first university chapter in Northern Ohio! 

At Case Western Reserve University (CWRU), we are a community of trailblazers. Our students, alumni, faculty, and staff are at the forefront of addressing and approaching some of the most critical issues facing the world. Our school has a deep-rooted history in transforming the future, and it is for this reason that we are the ideal institute to start the first university chapter of PCRF in Northern Ohio. This is a non-religious, non-political, and non-racial non-profit organization that is dedicated to providing free medical relief for thousands of sick and injured children across the borders of the Middle East, including Palestine (Gaza and the West Bank), Lebanon, and Jordan. PCRF deserves to expand far and wide across the nation to garner the aid it undeniably deserves to help the underserved and forgotten. Simply put by donating, you are joining our team through CWRU and PCRF, and gifting towards a better tomorrow in today's humanitarian crises all around the Middle East.

The PCRF is a legally-registered non-political, non-profit, 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization established in 1991 by concerned people to address the medical and humanitarian needs of Palestinian and Arab youths in the Middle East. We have provided thousands of children life-saving care based on their need, not on religion, gender, nationality or sect.

The main objective of the PCRF is to identify and treat every child in the Middle East in need of specialized surgery not available to them locally. We locate, sponsor and run international, volunteer medical missions to the Middle East, in additional to locating free medical care abroad for children who cannot be adequately treated in the Middle East. The PCRF  is the main organization regularly sending injured and sick Arab children to North and South America, the Middle East and Europe for free care that is not available to them there. Since 1991 over 1,000 children have been abroad for millions of dollars of donated care, and over 10,000 have had complex surgery by our visiting medical missions to the region. The PCRF has been awarded the top 4-star rating by Charity Navigator for fiscal management, while being able to treat more kids than any other charity in the Middle East.
