Hope For Tomorrow
Mission
The Hope For Tomorrow Foundation
was initiated during a Papal visit by a group of
Western New York women in the summer of 1994. This
group of women understood the need for help and
surgical assistance by many young patients for
reconstructive surgery. They decided to dedicate their
efforts towards obtaining medical and surgical help
for these needy patients through physicians and
hospitals in the Western New York area. It is the
sincere hope of this group to help enable people whose
lives have been significantly altered by illness and
deformity to once again lead a normal existence. The
Hope For Tomorrow Foundation began by wanting to help
one person and has continued on its humanitarian
mission to helping hundreds. It has raised funds to
send doctors around the world.
The Hope For
Tomorrow Foundation has been responsible for
recruiting doctors from across the United States to
help children around the world with catastrophic
injuries. They have performed, free of charge, complex
surgery that the families of these unfortunate
children could not otherwise afford.
Over the
years the Hope For Tomorrow Foundation has brought
children to Western New York for surgery and has sent
medical teams to places such as Russia, India, Cuba,
Poland and Jamaica. It has been responsible for
hundreds of donated surgeries and thousands of pounds
of donated medical supplies. The foundation has helped
the doctors to go with those supplies to donate their
time and talent helping people throughout the world
regain their lives. Doctors from many different
disciplines have participated, including
Opthalmoliogists, Urologists, Anesthesiologists,
Surgeons, Gynecologists, Plastic Surgeons and many
more.
Thanks to the Hope For Tomorrow
Foundation, those in desperate need can have access to
skilled surgeons and expensive surgery. Doctors are
able to meet with colleagues, international
dignitaries, heads of state and national leaders who
can appreciate their humanitarian efforts and raise
awareness at the highest levels about these pressing
medical
needs. | |
