Child Foundation Charity Awarded $10,000 Grant by First Hand Foundation

    MIAMI BEACH, FL, September 26, 2008 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Child Foundation Charity, a 501 (c) (3) public benefit, non-profit organization, has been awarded its first grant in the amount of $10,000 by First Hand Foundation. This grant will be used to help with medical treatment for children born with birth defects and enable our mission to be fulfilled on both national and international levels.

With this grant from First Hand Foundation, our organization hopes to increase the number of boys and girls that will receive free medical treatment. This includes travel expenditures, surgeries, hospital expenses, and medication costs. Additionally, funding from First Hand Foundation will be utilized to create a genetic testing and counseling component to Child Foundation Charity children and their families.

According to the March of Dimes, every year there are an estimated eight million children born world-wide with serious congenital malformations. Most of these children have no hope of receiving appropriate medical care due to lack of financial means or as a result of the impoverished state of their underdeveloped country. Not only do these birth defects create physical obstacles in physiological growth, but they have definitive impact on self-esteem and emotional development, as well. These children frequently suffer a life of isolation, ridicule and embarrassment.

Child Foundation Charity is comprised of physicians, corporate executives, and volunteers. The venerated doctors on our board are affiliated with Miami Children's Hospital and Baptist Hospital, and each of them has volunteered their invaluable services to Child Foundation Charity. Operation costs are donated by our doctors to CFC children and Child Foundation Charity's goal is to help defray hospital and medical expenses incurred while treating the children that come to us for assistance. The children aided by Child Foundation Charity are 17 years old or younger, and are born with medically treatable physical birth defects. These children have no means with which to pay for medical treatment, relying solely on the compassion and goodwill of others. Children can be from outside or within the US. CFC is unique because 100% of all monies raised will be used for the children; all operational expenses are paid for by an anonymous angel donor.
