Krystella, a brave 16-year-old from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, has returned to the US for another eye surgery. After telehealth appointments with her Saint Louis doctors, while she was at home, they recommended a return trip. Over the summer, the medical team corrected the initial problem, a fistula behind her eye, this next surgery is intended to realign it, moving her closer to a complete recovery. Her father, Mac, is by her side as she receives care with the dedicated team of Dr. Osbun, Dr. Couch, and Dr. Gervasio at St. Louis Children’s Hospital. Krystella's care is made possible thanks to the generous support of The Maria Holder Memorial Trust, Ronald McDonald House of Charities St. Louis, Mercy Medical Angels, and St. Louis Children's Hospital.

Meet Carlos, a true survivor

In 2006, when he was less than a year old, he and his mother embarked on a life-changing journey from Cartagena to Bogotá, Colombia for his life-saving heart surgery. In this heartwarming photo, Carlos is holding the newspaper clipping that captures their journey, filled with hope and gratitude for the incredible support they received from Childspring International, a subsidiary of WPP, in collaboration with Tiéndele La Mano a un Niño, alongside dedicated doctors. Today, Carlos has grown into a lively young man, showcasing just how impactful support can be in the lives of children.

🎆 As we bid farewell to 2023, we reflect on the remarkable strides we've achieved together in delivering advanced healthcare to children in need. This year, we achieved significant milestones, including the acquisition of Childspring International in Atlanta. Joining forces allows us to provide more services to children and communities. Together, we have proudly served more than 24,100 children, offered over 63,400 services, and completed 707 international medical and training teams.

⭐️Even more thrilling is an even bigger impact coming on the horizon, as we look forward to the opportunities in the coming year to strive for a brighter, healthier future for every child. 🙌

Thank you for being a vital part of the CSI and World Pediatric Project family. We wish you a happy and healthy New Year.🥂

Cris (Guatemala) has been through more hospital stays than any 10 people. We met Cris in 2014 and have been with him since, helping facilitate surgeries, host families, and travel. As of Nov. 27, he's finally done with surgery and headed home. Look how far he's come! 😍

Happy holidays! Looking through past Christmas photos and found this one of Aleyda (Honduras, scoliosis) from way back in 2008. We hope your holidays are as beautiful as her smile. ❤️

It's once again ! Who remembers Busara (Kenya)? Back in 2011, when he was just 10 months old, we helped him find care for his heart condition. This baby would be a teenager now!

Two-year-old Woodson (Haiti) was born with multiple conge***al bladder and ge***al malformations. He has now undergone multiple surgeries, thanks to the devoted care of Haiti urologist Dr. Charles Denis, and is well on the road to recovery. Read more at https://tinyurl.com/2762hjsu.

Alhaji is from Sierra Leone and spent years suffering from a left inguinal hernia. After innumerable hospital stays and medications, Alhaji was connected this year with Childspring, and finally received the surgery he needed at the end of October. ❤️

We are excited to welcome another child to the Greenville area but would love your help and support in finding a host family. The amazing child is 16 years old traveling from Central America and is in need of an orthopedic surgery. We are looking for a host family who has a 1st-floor room accommodation with a bathroom. His anticipated arrival is January 2024. We are willing to work with host families to accommodate holiday schedules.

If you or anyone else you know are interested in this opportunity, please reach out.

December is Human Rights Month, with Human Rights Day falling on Dec. 10. This year, 2023, marks the 75th anniversary of the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. One of those rights is healthcare - and we'll never stop working to bring it to those in need.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! ❤️ The Childspring family showed up in a BIG way for us yesterday and we couldn't be more grateful. Thanks to YOUR generosity, children's lives will be changed - and even saved!
