What motivated the creation of IKF?
IKF was founded in response to an increasing number of desperate families from Latin America and the Caribbean who regularly showed up at Jackson Memorial Foundation seeking financial support for their sick children’s medical treatment at Holtz Children’s Hospital, which is prohibited by law to use publicly funded resources to care for non-residents. As the number of families increased, the foundation came to realize that a special organizational and financial infrastructure was needed to appropriately support these families.
