A message from Oksana Pidhoreckyj, Executive Director:
Twenty years ago, my journey with The Paul Chester Children’s Hope Foundation began on a medical mission in Quito, Ecuador. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of serving on missions across Kenya, Colombia, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Suriname, and Morocco. Each experience has reinforced my belief in the extraordinary difference that compassionate medical care can make in the lives of those who need it most.

Today, PCCHF continues to bring specialized medical and surgical care to underserved communities around the world while responding to new and urgent needs. As a Ukrainian, our work in Ukraine is especially personal to me. I feel a deep responsibility to help those affected by the ongoing war, and I am incredibly proud of PCCHF’s efforts to provide hospitals and medical teams with critical equipment and supplies.

Over the years, I have witnessed firsthand what is possible when talented medical professionals volunteer their expertise and generous people come together behind a shared purpose. Every patient we treat, every mission we undertake, and every community we serve is made possible by our volunteers, donors, partners, and supporters.

As we look toward the future, our commitment remains the same: to bring hope, healing, and access to medical care to people who need it most.

Thank you for believing in our mission and for being part of the PCCHF community.

A message from Bill Chester, Co-Founder:
We’ve had a busy year, with a follow-up trip to Kenya this past November, and several trips to Haiti as well. We sent our partners in Haiti a shipment of supplies and equipment including air conditioners for the ORs, an anesthesia machine, a new laparoscopic tower, and enough surgical equipment and supplies to support a substantial number of cases in that area.
Our screening mission there resulted in about 50 surgical candidates--12 of which were operated on successfully in October. We hope to continue expanding and improving this site in Haiti over the coming year.
Before we return, Kenya will need some time to stabilize politically before we feel it’s safe to travel over, as Kenya still has election-related instability, and our good friend and partner in Laikipia, Kuki Galmann, was seriously wounded last year while tending her property. In addition to our trips to Kenya and Haiti, we’re looking at two new potential sites: Suriname and Morocco. Our fact-finding trip leaves March 29th to Rabat. We'd love to have your continued support this year, and thank you for your donations and generosity.
