Assistance to Desperately ill Children and Young
People
Many poor Balinese families are faced with the heart-breaking
fact that they cannot afford to save their own child's life. There
have been cases where a child in need of simple appendix surgery
has died because the parents had no money to pay for the operation.
To prevent such tragedies, our Foundation arranges free treatment
for children from poor families who need life-saving or life-changing
procedures. Dozens of children have benefited from this program,
which is funded by The John Fawcett Foundation.
How you can help this Program
If you would like to support our efforts to assist
these young people, please send a cash donation – consult
our SUPPORT OUR PROGRAMS
page for how to donate. We would like to acknowledge all assistance
and donations, so please send an email to yki@indo.net.id
to let us know you have donated.
Our Foundation receives many requests to assist
children from poor families who
are suffering from medical conditions.
Most of those we are able to help are treated
in Bali, but some
children who come to our attention need more advanced
medical attention
which is not available in Indonesia. Unfortunately we are not
able
to assist all these patients, and we have to calculate the child’s
long-term
prognosis and his/her chances of being able to lead a
normal and productive
life following treatment. Donations received
for particular children over and above
what is required for their
treatment will be directed to other children in this Program.
