Mending Kids International

Individual Surgical Care - Our Individual Surgical Care (ISC) program allows children to travel with a family member to trusted partner hospitals in India, Israel, Canada, or the United States to receive complex surgical care they could never receive in their home countries.ISC U.S. targets children with greater surgical needs who require more complex care. The identified children are then flown to the United States for surgery. Throughout their stay, they are nurtured and cared for by a local and loving host family. $56,980 worth of in-kind donations including hospital discounts and airfare for patients and families were donated and used in ISC U.S. and ISC International programs.

U.S. Hometown Missions - Our expanding U.S. Hometown Missions across the nation provide free surgeries to kids from underserved communities and those who have been denied coverage from the government and/or their private insurance companies. In 2019, we initiated our new program Mend U.S., an expansion of our Hometown Mission program that allows qualifying patients across the United States to have year-round access and assistance to outpatient surgeries.
