Margolias expressed the profound effect these surgeries have on the lives of the children they help.

“The magnitude of the surgeries that these kids from cure for free will change their lives. And the fact that Beast Philanthropy can come in here and help cure provide care to some these kids is something that’s going to affect me and stay with me for the rest of my life,” Margolias said.
