About this user

Surgical Friends Foundation is an organization that is working to provide reconstructive surgery and improve access to quality medical care by uniting patients, physicians and philanthropists. There are millions of people in this country and around the world that do not have access to affordable and quality healthcare. The U.S. Census Bureau reported that in America, the country that spends the most on healthcare, there are 45.7 million people without health insurance. Health insurance costs are rising faster than wages and inflation, and medical causes is cited as the reason for bankruptcy in about half of filers. Healthcare in the developing world is usually non-existent or highly limited and under resourced. Disease affects not only individuals but families and entire communities.

Surgical Friends Foundation helps patients connect with skilled volunteer reconstructive surgeons and the funds necessary to pay for their surgery. We are helping individuals raise the necessary money through means of fundraising, charitable donations and community involvement.

Our mission
There are millions of people in United States and around the world who live painful lives due to physical deformities. These deformities could be congenital, post traumatic or acquired in nature. Unfortunately due to lack of access to quality care and/or availability of monetary funds these individuals never seek help and continue to suffer. The purpose of Surgical Friends Foundation is to:
1. Provide access to quality care so these individuals can undergo their reconstructive surgery and start their rehabilitation process.
2. Help these individuals raise the necessary money through means of fundraising, charitable donations and community involvement.
