Palestine Children’s Relief Fund
The Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF) sends volunteer teams of surgeons and other medical personnel to treat patients and train professionals at local hospitals in the Middle East.

 The PCRF works hard to provide many sick and injured Arab children in the Middle East with specialized medical care by arranging cost-free treatment for them abroad.

Since 1991, the organization has sent over 1000 children abroad for cost-free care that is not available to them in their home country.

Host of The Wizard of Eyes, Dr. Robert Abel, welcomes special guest and fellow founder Delaware Chapter of the PCRF, Nora Whisnant, to share her compassionate journey. Whisnant explains what led her to PCRF and what the PCRF is doing to change the face of healthcare in Palestine.
