Friends -- Sadly, our classmate, Ammar Hamamra, lost his brother in a tragic accident on Sunday. As part of our culture, it is customary to give to charity in honor of the deceased.
Khaled Mofeed Tawfiq Hamamra left the world way too young. He was 21 years old. When we asked Ammar what we can do to support his family, he said that his dream was "to help save one life." As Ammar is Palestinian, we thought it was appropriate to support the only Children's Cancer Hospital in Palestine (learn more about their critical work here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCm66TspFGcY6evrgobtPYfw). The organization also provides emergency surgery to children hurt in conflict.
We have set a modest goal at $700.00 (we can most definitely exceed the goal!). Thank you for your generosity.
Please keep Ammar, Khaled and their family in your prayers.
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.
