Fundraiser Profile

Join me and change lives in Guatemala

Over the summer, a group of people from my church and I had the opportunity to visit Kenya. During my trip, I got the chance to visit some of the local’s homes and hear about their lives. In one of the homes that I visited, there was a grandpa that was siding beside me only for me to then notice a gaping hole in his ear that was infected. I looked over to see his daughter’s reaction only to find a blank expression of normalcy. There were no hospitals nearby, no nurses, and certainly no doctors. I felt weak at that moment knowing that I was in a position where I could not help them in their struggles.

When I was presented with the opportunity to go to this medical mission in Guatemala, I saw a lot of similarities between the two countries. Hearing the stories of people being treated through the Osborne Head & Neck Foundation, I knew that this was an opportunity that I wanted to be a part of, an opportunity to make an impact. I no longer want to be in a position where I was powerless to help, but instead have the ability to give aid.

I have committed to raising $5000 towards this mission with any donation, big or small, being greatly appreciated. I would like to invite you with me on this journey, supporting those who don’t have access to medical services by giving them opportunities to continue living their lives to the fullest.

I’ve committed to raising $5,000 towards Medical and Impact Missions in Guatemala. With your support we can change lives.
