International Medical Programs

There have been four serious medical cases that the staff of IFC has determined need expert international help. After seeking the counsel of Indonesian doctors we have sought doctors and hospitals in America and Australia. Yulce and Vino have come to Los Angeles to receive reconstructive surgery at the Grossman Burn Center. Yulce is currently being treated for a curved spine at the Shriner’s Hospital of L.A.

Billie was brought to Portland Oregon to get surgery for a birth defect that made him unable to pass waste. Liz Wood and nurse who met him in Indonesia was influential in getting him the care he needed. She is a real hero in her efforts that saved his life.

Kasih has a severe double cleft pallet. She is in Australia getting surgery to reconstruct her face.

It is a pleasure to help these who would have either died or live with horrible injuries.

These were lots of people and organizations who joined in these efforts—many thanks to all of these people who have from their hearts.

The costs and effort is huge. The “International Medical Program” provided opportunity for those in need to find help in another country. If you want to be involved please give a donation to help with travel, passport, visa, housing and some medical costs.

We have two candidates who are waiting for the next door to open.

You can read some of the short articles about these individuals in the newsletter and blog.
