The five-year-old child burned by masked men in Iraq has the attention of many Americans. And as usual, they want to help. And they have:
The Children’s Burn Foundation — a non-profit organization based out of Sherman Oaks, California, that provides support for burn victims locally, nationally and internationally — has agreed to pay for the transportation for Youssif and his family to come to the United States and to set up a fund so you can donate.
The foundation says it will cover all medical costs — from surgeries for Youssif to housing costs to any social rehabilitation that might be needed for him. Surgeries will be performed by Dr. Peter Grossman, a plastic surgeon with the affiliated-Grossman Burn Center who is donating his services for Youssif’s cause.
There is a way you can help too. The foundation has a website where you can donate to Youssif’s fund. There is a drop down menu under “General Fund” that will allow you to give to his treatment. If you can spare the money, please click the link and give what you can. If you can’t afford money, afford the time to think of Youssif in prayer.
The doctor who will be working on Youssif has helped other children with amazing results.
