However some volunteers in outstandingly heartfelt gestures contribute funds DIRECTLY TO THE HOSPITAL OR HEALTH PLACEMENT assigned. That supports the needs of a range of health care facilities of sick children. Contributions are devoted to medical treatment, surgeries (especially open heart operations) and/or for the provision of medicines and necessary equipment and prosthetics.

Young girls students of pharmacy at the University of Manchester, Katherine Blackledge and Laurita Masrland volunteering at a public hospital devoted to poor and ill little ones in Quito.

These funds are normally collected in the volunteers' home country thanks to his/her fundraising efforts and contacts.

The volunteer can be involved in all aspects of the child´s health, from the diagnosis to prescriptions and medical exams. The volunteer meets with the child and his/her family (if she/he has one), talks to the physicians and decides whether to assist economically or not. If his/her conclusion is positive, the volunteer contributes either by assisting with the medical costs involved. The volunteer can also acquire medicines and equipment (e.g. bandages, needles), and deliver them directly to the hands of the most appropriate person at the hospital.
