The Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF) is a registered 501(c)(3) non-governmental organization established in 1991, by, according to its website, "concerned people in the U.S. to address the medical and humanitarian crisis facing Palestinian youths in the Middle East."[3] The main objective of the PCRF is to locate in the United States and Europe free medical care for children who cannot be adequately treated in the Middle East.[3] Since 1991, tens of thousands of young people have received medical treatment through the PCRF.[4]

The PCRF was founded by Steve Sosebee, who served as the organization's President for 30 years.[5][6]
