Stories and updates from our team

Dear friends,
 
In 2023, together, we achieved remarkable milestones, surpassing our 5000th mended child and providing life-changing surgeries to 288 children this year alone. Here are some highlights of our accomplishments:
 
Surgical Missions: This year, we conducted 11 surgical missions in Cambodia, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Mauritius, and Tanzania, providing vital medical interventions to children facing complex health challenges and training local medical personnel. 
 
Our teams’ notable accomplishments this year:
  • Isabelle, our hands-on Executive Director, marked a milestone by traveling on her 50th mission.
  • Mary - “Proudest accomplishment of the year was going to Mauritius and seeing firsthand all of the supplies we sourced being in use”
  • Chaoyi - “In the Summer, with limited help and lead up, we were able to celebrate Gene Simmons’ Birthday party for almost 300 attendees in just one month’s preparation. We designed and built a brand new website in two weeks.”
  • Arielle - “My proudest accomplishment was being part of the first cardiovascular surgical mission in Zamboanga City, Philippines—also my home country—where we mended the hearts of 13 kids.”
  • Jeff - “Helping to facilitate surgery for 3 Southern California kids through Mend US, that were previously denied by insurance as “elective, or cosmetic,” but were conditions that could result in bullying at school due to their appearance.”
  • Sara - “Joining Mending Kids as the Development Manager!”
  • Daphne - “Proudest accomplishment this year was working together with local teams in Nicaragua and Tanzania for our cardiac missions!”
