The Wonderfund™ story Wonderfund™, is a global outreach program of The International Kids Fund (IKF), to save the lives of children without other options. IKF is itself a program of the Jackson Memorial Foundation. The cornerstone of Wonderfund™ is a new, social media-enhanced Web site and global appeal to international foundations, donors and non-governmental organizations from around the world whose mission is aligned with IKF’s Wonderfund™. The healing care is made possible at Holtz Children’s Hospital. History of IKF’s Wonderfund™ IKF’s Wonderfund™ was formed in 2001 the Jackson Memorial Foundation who realized that hundreds of parents from Latin America, the Caribbean and other countries were arriving in South Florida seeking life-saving medical treatments for their children since care was not available in their countries. The group originally created The International Kids Fund and began raising money locally for the kids in need. “In the beginning, IKF’s Wonderfund™ started by helping a few kids a year, but as parents began to learn how we could help their children we began to serve so many more,” said Janelle Prieto, IKF’s Wonderfund™ director. “Today we help more than 100 children a year and are dedicated to our mission of providing world-class medical care for children in need.” IKF’s Wonderfund™ is a philanthropic program of the Jackson Memorial Foundation, which seeks to provide medical care to needy children from around the world who suffer from serious illnesses that cannot be treated in their home countries. The fund ensures these children receive the best care possible at Holtz Children’s Hospital of the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Medical Center, one of the nation’s premier teaching hospitals. |
