Every three minutes a child is born somewhere in the world with a cleft condition. In first-world countries, corrective surgery is usually done within the first 18 months of life. In Southern Africa, where safe surgery is not always freely available or accessible, a child may have to wait years for the chance to live a normal life. Depending on the severity, cleft conditions can be repaired in just 45 minutes. Your donation makes new smiles possible. Did you know? Speech difficulties are common among children born with cleft conditions. They may struggle to make themselves understood, and need speech therapy after surgery.

Did you know that around 370,000 New Zealanders are affected by cataracts? This condition can impact people of all ages, including our friends and family. While surgery is often necessary and the only solution, the long wait times and rising costs highlight the need for more treatment and prevention options. Meet Dr. Rosica Petrova, a dedicated researcher working to prevent cataracts. In this video, she shares a brief overview of her important work and expresses gratitude to supporters like you, whose donations are vital for her research. Curious to learn more?

Come learn from the best.

A recent study by Striano et al. (2024) published in The Spine Journal reveals an alarming concern about radiation exposure during adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) surgery. The findings show that conventional intraoperative CT navigation systems can increase a patient's lifetime cancer risk by up to 236 times compared to traditional fluoroscopy. This means that nearly 1 in every 1,000 children undergoing AIS surgery could face this serious risk. We are proud to offer the 7D FLASH Navigation System? – a groundbreaking solution that eliminates radiation exposure. This technology empowers surgeons with the precision and efficiency of navigation while prioritizing the safety of patients and medical staff. This Scoliosis Awareness Month, let's come together to advocate for safer, radiation-free surgical options. By embracing innovative technologies like the 7D FLASH Navigation System, we can transform the landscape of spinal surgery and ensure a brighter, healthier future for those affected by scoliosis. Join us in making a difference.

Day 23 of the #50Families50Days Campaign $1,800 for Cranial Helmet for Premature Twins. Twin boys, Matthew, and Michael Ellison, were born prematurely with severely misshapen skulls, necessitating the use of cranial helmets to effectively reshape their skulls and prevent potential future medical conditions. Each child required a helmet, costing $1,800 each. Task Force Dagger and TDF covered the expenses for these helmets. The boys' cranial specialist provided prescriptions and detailed information for the devices, believing that the helmets could avoid the need for potentially dangerous surgery, which would still require the use of the devices post-surgery. Matthew and Michael were born prematurely, with one hospitalized for about a month after birth due to serious health issues. Both boys were thriving and relatively healthy, but their skull deformities were attributed to their physical position in the womb and premature birth, which hindered full development. TRICARE would not cover the expense since they only provide coverage after corrective surgery. The physician believed it was safer to avoid surgery and use the helmets to align the boys' skulls properly. Requested Amount that TD Foundation provided immediate and direct assistance for: $1,800 To hear more amazing stories of impact from the TD Foundation, please follow along on our social media accounts.

SHOULD I DONATE MY BODY TO SCIENCE? It has been said that the bodies of the dead have long taught and trained the living. Therefore, donating your body would be a benevolent gift to the world. It would be used for medical research or the training of medical professionals. Have you ever been a patient in life? If yes, you have benefited from the donation of someone else’s body. In the 1800s, zealous medical students and their students robbed graves in order to practice dissection. Advantages 1. Become a Lifesaver Universities use cadavers to teach students about anatomy and physiology. Surgeons use same to aid their training, to develop new techniques and perform procedures such as joint replacements and transplants. It could be used to explore transhumanism, advance robotics, arthroscopic surgery, and local anesthetic blocks administration. This way you would have helped saved hundreds of thousands of lives in the years to come. 2. Promote Education Research institutes use cadavers to discover how diseases impact the body. Forensic investigations use same to study how long decay occurs in the human body. If a continual evolution of medical breakthrough is important to you, then you are a potential donor. 3. It Removes Financial Burden Off of Your Family The typical funeral arrangements would no longer be necessary. Make your own research and only sign a donation agreement that you understand. Ensure your family knows your intentions. Disadvantages 1. Your family does not get paid for your donation. They will be responsible for memorial services, obituaries and death certificates. The medical schools or medical research firms may give reimbursements for certain fees (movement of the body) and nothing more. 2. No Funeral Service Have this difficult conversation with your family members as soon as possible. Your intention affects them as they would not be able to have a funeral service with your body present. Note that just because you want to donate your body does not mean it will be accepted; and you will be able to withdraw at anytime if you change your mind.
