50 SURGERIES · ONE GLOBAL COMMUNITY
50 years deserves a life-changing celebration
For half a century, Interferry has brought together people and organizations who understand the power of ships to connect communities around the world.
To celebrate this remarkable milestone, the Interferry community is coming together with Mercy Ships for a different kind of journey.
Our goal: help make 50 life-changing surgeries possible.
Your gift of $ 500 can help change a life
For many people in the countries Mercy Ships serves, the surgery they need can be difficult or impossible to access.
A treatable condition can affect a child’s ability to go to school, a parent’s ability to work, or someone’s ability to participate fully in their community.
Your gift can help change that.
Mercy Ships brings free surgical care and healthcare training to African nations aboard the world’s two largest non-governmental hospital ships, the Global Mercy™ and Africa Mercy®.
Behind every surgery is a person. One surgery can mean…
Seeing again.
For someone whose sight
has been limited by a treatable condition.
Walking differently.
For a child living with a
severe orthopedic condition.
Healing.
For someone living with a
tumor, burn injury, hernia or other condition requiring specialized
surgical care.
What could 50 surgeries make possible?
50 patients.
50 families.
50 stories that could take a different direction.
Together, we're getting closer to 50
