What We Do

Surgeries in the NY area – We work with other Gift of Life programs on five continents in order to provide care to children. Children who come to New York for assistance are often recommended by participating programs or other medical teams who examine the children near where they live. Often parents themselves research the internet looking to help their children. The program in the home country helps to coordinate transportation to the US, obtain passports and visas and assure that the child and parent have round trip travel to New York. The Gift of Life program handles all activity from the time the family arrives in New York until they leave. Most families stay between 4 and 6 weeks, stay with a host family that volunteers to provide room, meals and a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. All travel to medical appointments, medication and incidental expenses are covered by the Gift of Life.

Mission Trips – Gift of Life also participates in medical training and screening missions to several countries. In effect, this brings the medical care to the child rather than bringing the child to the US. In a screening mission, a team of medical professionals including doctors, surgeons and nurses will visit the country for a week or more, evaluate a number of children and treat as many as possible either through non-interventional means or surgical procedures. Complex cases are referred to participating hospitals here in the US or other programs around the world. A training mission is similar except that in addition to the team treating the children, they also work with local medical professionals to train them in the latest procedures and practices.

In 2023, the Metro NY Gift of Life Chapter will continue to play a leadership role, assisting the Elmsford Rotary as the International Host Club for a $150,000 Global Grant to Lebanon.

The Metro NY Chapter is also supporting a $2,500 grant to Ukraine.

Watch our Success Stories for updates of more mission trips planned for 2022 and 2023 including 100 new life changing procedures for children from Lebanon.

Dan learned more about how this program helped children to live a normal life, a life that would be impossible in their home country due to inadequate medical care. Later that year, the first child was brought to Westchester for surgery from Uganda.
