Who is eligible for IKF services?
While the lives and suffering of all children are undoubtedly tantamount, regretfully not every child will be found eligible for treatment and/or sponsorship by IKF given the realities of our assessment process. Eligibility for sponsorship is determined by the following criteria: • The child must be fighting a medical condition that cannot be treated in his or her home country. • His or her family lacks health insurance and the financial resources to pay for the required health care treatment. • He or she is not a U.S. citizen or resident, as U.S. citizens or residents qualify for government aid. • Doctors believe he or she has a good chance of getting cured. • His or her medical condition will not require life-long medical care. • Transplant cases are only eligible if a sponsor has already committed to providing financial support.
