Hi,  Ernie -

Yes, we have organized this kind of thing many times.  I've been 
retired from the mission field now for several years, but the 
organization that we used to go through was called Wings.  I've 
looked on the internet and can't find it right now, but I'll look 
back through some old papers and see if I can find a contact.  We 
arranged for things like kidney transplants and MRI testing for 
children which were all funded by the organization with volunteers 
here in the states providing housing and assistance.

You may just need to know that it is possible and that there are 
organizations who will make the arrangements, but I'll look and see 
if I can find the one we used.

Good luck!

Tina
