Bratter Krieger Assists International Kids Fund
Firm's Pro-Bono Work Assists Critically Ill Children and Their Families

 MIAMI BEACH -- Bratter Krieger LLP has joined forces with the International Kids Fund (IKF) to provide free immigration services to families of critically ill children.
As part of IKF's Partner for Kids program, Bratter Krieger is managing many of the visa requirements needed for temporary residence for the parents of IKF kids.

International Kids Fund (IKF) is a philanthropic program of Jackson Memorial Foundation, committed to helping critically ill children primarily from Latin America and the Caribbean gain immediate access to essential medical treatments that are unavailable in their respective home countries.

“Getting the proper visas and waivers required for temporary residence in the United States isn’t always easy. However, thanks to Bratter Krieger LLP, these and other complex immigration matters are handled at no charge for the parents of
IKF kids,” said Maria Luisa Chea, Director of the International Kids Fund. “We are grateful to have Bratter Krieger as our Partners for Kids.”

Thanks to the program, to date more than 125 foreign children with urgent health care needs have received expert attention from medical specialists at Holtz Children’s Hospital, located at University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Medical Center in Miami, Florida, United States.
