Who We Are
The Burnt Relief Fund for Children, or FANQ, is a nonprofit organization of joint action from volunteers and generous support of individuals, businesses and institutions. It is made up of Bolivian volunteers residing in the city of Houston, Texas. They work to provide support for Bolivian children who have been victims of severe burns. Our fund gets in touch with the Bolivian children and families who have been victims, so they can travel to the United States. Then, they are taken to Galveston, Texas to get treated at Shriners Hospital for children. Our efforts make it possible for these children to get treatment which allows for their healing and recovery.
