Fundraiser Profile
Join me and change lives in Guatemala
My name is Liam Landon, and I discovered my passion for medicine at OHNI. I was born and raised in Los Angeles where I learned through a mix of personal and professional experiences just how much people need help from one another. A compassion for others and mixed with a strong curiosity in science drove me to pursue medicine in my high school years, where I found myself at the OHNI.
The MSP and OHNI holistically introduced me to the medical profession, and taught me the lessons of medicine that can’t be learned from a book. I took what I learned from the OHNI and applied it, spending the last two years working as an EMT while pursuing my undergraduate degree at UC Berkeley. The OHNI taught me to look beyond individuals to not only treat patients but to give back to the community in the process. This core value is what drives the OHNF and what keeps me returning again and again to be a part of their mission and inspire others, the same way they inspired me.
I’ve committed to raising $5,000 towards Medical and Impact Missions in Guatemala. With your support we can change lives.
Medical and Impact Missions are 100% funded by donations from supporters like you. We commit to communities with little to no access to medical care, and bring all supplies needed to perform a wide array of medical services.
Your donation is…
- Providing clinical and surgical services, at no cost, to those living in extreme poverty in Guatemala
- Arranging and paying for transportation for patients living in remote villages
- Providing local language experts to eliminate language as a barrier to care
- Securing lodging for patients in the city during treatment and post op care
