Cole Miller and Alan Pogue traveled to the Middle East in March of last year bring Isra to the United States for medical care and a prosthetic arm. They successfully brought an Iraqi woman called Um Haider and her injured son Mostafa to the United States (To see CNN and local Los Angeles ABC affiliate coverage of Um Haider and Mostafa, click here. You can listen to their story on NPR or read about it in Gannet or the Los Angeles Weekly) But as bombs rained down on Baghdad, they were unable to get Isra out, and she was left behind.

 You remember Isra. Her image was featured in a poster used at protests on every continent before the war. Now she's coming to the United States to receive the medical care she's needed since being injured in a US missle attack on her village in 1999."
Alan and Cole left for Basra to bring Isra to Shriners Hospital in Houston, Texas. While in Basra, they will gather medical records of other injured children and work to facilitate similar medical relief initiatives in other communities around the United States. If your community would like to sponsor an injured Iraqi child, please contact us.
