Mending Kids, a Burbank-based non-profit, is providing free surgeries for children and teens in Los Angeles whose families do not have adequate financial or insurance coverage and we need help spreading the word, to get kids signed up. This is Mending Kids’ second Hometown Los Angeles Mission. Mending Kids has already provided over 1,600 life-changing surgeries all over the world with 18 of those surgeries right here in Los Angeles during last year’s Hometown Mission.

About Mending Kids

Mending Kids provides life-changing surgical care to children worldwide who would otherwise go untreated due to lack of medical or financial resources. Over the years, 1,600 children from 54 countries, including the United States, have received corrective, transformational surgeries that have given them a chance at longer, healthier and happier lives. Most of the surgeries we perform are to correct congenital heart defects, orthopedic abnormalities, severe scoliosis, and significant cranial facial deformities. In 2014, more than 400 children from Cambodia, China, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Haiti, Nicaragua, Mozambique, Panama, Peru, Costa Rica, and the United Stated will have their lives mended and transformed by Mending Kids Volunteer Mission Teams. Additionally, $.90 cents of every dollar raised goes directly into funding Mending Kids surgical mission costs.
