Children Of War Foundation (C.O.W.F.) will be operating on children that need life altering and sub specialized surgeries during their mission in Jordan at the King Hussein Hospital. These operations are some of the most complex and life threatening conditions. The reality of the matter is that these children would not get the operations without our sub specialized surgeons. The financial burden of trying to bring these children to the United States for treatment would have cost many millions of dollars to provide the care. In an effort to contain costs, and provide the most meaningful impact, we proceeded with securing the hospital and the surgeons, in order to provide care in Jordan.
Children of War Foundation is a non-profit 501(c) 3 entity that provides surgical and medical treatment to children throughout the world, and here in the United States. We are a unique organization in that none of our members receive any form of financial compensation.
The money needed is to help cover the cost of medical equipment, some logistical expenses for the doctors that will be operating and donating their time. It will also cover some basic legal and logistical fees for making this mission happen and the opportunity to ensure that we can operate on as many kids as possible.
