Overview
Mission
Child foundation, inc is composed of dedicated plastic surgeons and volunteers working toward the common goal of helping uninsured children worldwide with physical deformities. These children frequently suffer a life of scorn, ridicule and often embarrassment. Our website, www.childfoundation.com, features samples of children needing corrective surgery and their progress through the healing process. We want to improve these children's self-image, enabling them the opportunity for a healthier, happier and more productive life. This charity is dedicated to giving these children a more positive self-image thus enabling them the quality of life every child deserves. Additionally, donors are able to connect with the children by sending e-cards through the website during the surgery and recovery period. This enables the donor the opportunity to interact with the childern, and have a positive influence on these children's lives.
