HOST A CHILD



Be a part of a Miracle. Host a Child in your home!

Offering the warmth of a loving home is what a Mending Kids Host Family gives to support a child through the ordeal of their surgeries. Children travel to the U.S. for medical treatment and are given to an approved Host Family for the duration of their stay. Host Families supply food, clothing, transportation and act as surrogate families; giving the child emotional and moral support for an everage of 2 - 3 months.
