ReSurge International Charity Work
“Hello. A few ‘thank you’ words to Jacques and all the friends of Mali, who were willing to collect funds to make this donation to help us face Covid-19. And these donations come at the right time when one knows the need for such personal protective equipment. We thank these generous donors, and we encourage other people to follow their example.”- Director-General, Dr. Abdoulaye Sanogo
Dr. Partington works with the organization ReSurge to primarily performing and teaching pro-bono surgery for burn victims. He and some colleagues helped the people in the capital city of Mali called Bamako; which is a West African country. They helped raise funds to provide PPE for the medical unit and the community during this Global COVID Pandemic.
Volunteering in India
Dr. Partington took a trip to India to volunteer as a visiting educator. During his time, he taught the local doctors how to properly perform hand and burn surgery.
Healing The Children
Dr. Partington is passionate about his involvement with charity organizations. Giving back to people around the world who cannot access medical care is a key aspect of Dr. Partington’s practice. Dr. Partington is President of the Healing The Children chapter in Seattle, this is one of the 16 national branches and chapters. Healing The Children is a volunteer organization centered around giving billions of children around the world access to needed medical care. Their volunteers have traveled to over 100 countries and helped heal 277, 844 children (and counting). Dr. Partington works in Kathmandu with a fellow plastic surgeon specializing in burn care.
Dr. Partington often travels to help children in need of medical assistance. In January, he will travel to India to teach hand surgery as part of a partnership with Seattle-based RealSelf.com, the world’s leading resource for people to learn and share experiences about cosmetic procedures and connect with doctors. A big part of what he does is education as well as enlisting local doctors to get into this kind of charity work. We are so passionate about helping children everywhere get the care they need. If you would like to learn more about this charity and the work we do, feel free to ask us! We want to spread the word as much as possible about organizations such as these.

A Crisis in Liberia, Haiti Hoopla, and Standing Strong
Dear Marshall,
Many years ago, I served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Liberia, West Africa. This experience has been the foundation of my passion for our work at HTC as I saw first hand the inequities for women and children in their ability to access healthcare. I knew several young women who died during childbirth, young children who were severely malnourished, and people of all ages with severely deformed limbs.
As a non-profit which provides access to health care for underserved children around the world, I could not be more proud of the work we do. We live in a country with access to health care at every turn. Even the two doctors who had been in Liberia and were infected by the Ebola virus returned to the US and recovered. The need for quality health care for all is so critically important.
This is why our work is so vital: to address health care disparities as we are able, and give underserved children a chance to grow, to thrive, and to realize hope for the future. Thank you for your commitment to the children we serve. We are changing the world…one child at a time.

HELP US HEAL WITH YOUR GIFT TODAY!
The times are hopeful and yet challenging too. With so many needs here and abroad it is hard to raise the funds needed to support our work. The 530 Mudslide and crises in Liberia and West Africa have all garnered international attention.
This fall, HTC will support five medical teams abroad to Guatemala to bring the gift of hearing to children. The average cost to support one medical team is $12,500 which covers expenses in the field for translators, transportation, training, medical supplies, medical equipment, logistics, and project support.
This means we need to raise $62,500 to support these five teams. Help us to stand strong. Your investment will change the lives of nearly 500 children forever!

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR GIFT TO HELP HTC STAND STRONG!
