90% of the global burden of surgical disease occurs in low-income countries.
We urgently need to raise more resources and awareness to provide free treatment to patients and training to doctors across Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
Make your gift ‘monthly’ and a generous ReSurge donor will match your donations dollar for dollar, DOUBLING your impact!
This Spring, we need to raise $100,000 to help close a critical funding gap to provide life-changing reconstructive surgeries in low-income countries—surgeries that restore the ability to walk, work, go to school, and care for family.
And as global funding cuts leave more and more vulnerable people without care, your gift today is more urgent than ever.
Generous ReSurge supporters have stepped up with two unprecedented matching opportunities to help us close the gap to reconstructive surgery. If you make a one-time gift, it will be matched dollar for dollar — doubling your impact. And if you become a monthly donor, your gifts will be triple matched during the campaign.*
The Scars That Shape Us
This Spring, let’s close the gap to reconstructive surgery
so she can blossom through and beyond her scars.
Every Gift Matched 2X — Recurring Monthly Gifts Matched 3X!*
Please allow 24 hours for your donation to appear on the thermometer.
Meet Our Patients
ReSurge reconstructed their bodies. They took back their lives. Together we are closing the gap to reconstructive surgery once and for all.
How your donation helps us Close the Gap:
Only 1.8% of global health funding goes to non-communicable diseases, including those needing reconstructive surgery. As one of the only organizations to provide the full scope of reconstructive surgical care for those in low-income communities, we need your support.
With our best-in-class medical volunteers, ReSurge trains and supports surgical teams to sustainably address the gaps in surgical care. With your help, we provide free treatment to patients and build local surgical capacity for long-term solutions.
It’s time to make global surgery access a priority.
*$25,000 of matching funds are available for recurring monthly gifts made through March 31, 2026 and $80,000 of matching funds are available for all gifts made through June 30, 2025.
ReSurge is 
to Reconstructive Surgery
The Closing the Gap campaign, led by Ogilvy Health and ReSurge International in partnership with Papaya Films, shines a light on the urgent need for essential surgical care. Explore this pressing issue through the visually stunning documentary by Mateusz Miszczyński and Jakub Stoszek, filmed with ReSurge patients and doctors across Nepal.
“We live in times where narcissism often distracts us from the beauty around us. For me, this project was about rediscovering that beauty and the incredible strength and resilience found in unexpected places. In the film, we aimed to create a simple yet powerful juxtaposition between two worlds: one privileged, where plastic surgery serves purely aesthetic goals, and the other, where it saves lives.”
– Mateusz Miszczyński, Director
Spread the Word: #HelpReSurgeClosetheGap
To the modern world, plastic surgery is a cosmetic luxury. In low-income countries, plastic and reconstructive surgery is a medical necessity. There remains a lack of doctors, resources, equity.
By sharing stories of our resilient patients who have overcome acid attacks, burn injuries, and congenital conditions—and are now thriving against the odds—you send a powerful message to the world. Join our campaign by sharing content from our campaign website, videos, and images.
Your Support Makes Our Mission Possible
We are grateful for our opportunity to touch the lives of those needing surgical treatment worldwide and grow sustainable systems for local surgical teams in low-income countries. However, we cannot make an impact without your support. Give today to create a ripple effect that changes the world through life-changing, no-cost reconstructive surgeries.
