Welcome to our legacy of compassion and commitment that defines the Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF). Our roots delve deep into the tireless efforts of four remarkable pioneers who laid the bedrock for our mission. These founders – Steve Sosebee, Huda Al Masri, and Dr. Musa and Suhaila Nasir – collectively ignited the spark of change, infusing PCRF with their expertise and empathy, shaping it into the impactful organization it is today.
Their legacy resonates through the ongoing work of the organization, as we uphold their visionary spirit and dedication. Join us in paying tribute to their contributions in PCRF'S continued impact, where the spirit of compassion knows no bounds. Welcome to a humanitarian journey inspired by the enduring legacy of our founders, devoted to making a lasting difference in the lives of the children of Palestine.
Huda Al Masri was one of the founders of the PCRF and as our head social worker from 1993 until her tragic death from leukemia in 2009, helped to build the organization. Huda was known by everyone who met her as a loving mother, devoted wife, hard-working social worker, and exemplary leader whose vision and dedication to serving her people in Palestine enabled the PCRF to grow into one of the most respected and established non-profits in the Middle East.
Dr. Musa worked tirelessly for decades to pave the way for countless children to receive life-saving medical care that they otherwise could not have received. Dr. Musa served as the Chairman of the PCRF Board during its critical years of development, helping to build and grow PCRF’s ability to provide humanitarian and medical relief for Palestinian children affected by occupation and poverty. Dr. Nasir leaves a profound legacy and impact on PCRF, Palestine, and the children of Palestine. The only pediatric cancer department in the Gaza Strip was opened in 2019 and is named after Dr. Musa and Suhaila Nasir in recognition of their dedication to PCRF’s mission of helping provide medical care to every Palestinian child.
