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. Being a somewhat rowdy and irresponsible child, I gained my fair share of experiences with medical professionals early on and have held the profession in high regard for as long as I can remember. These experiences 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. The OHNI is a special place that seeks not only to treat their patients but to treat their community as well. I work with the foundation because I want 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
- Sponsoring children to be fed, sheltered, clothed, and protected at the Hogar Shalom Orphanage
- Adding up to 50 computers for children in remote villages to learn employable skills that can lift them out of poverty
- Refreshing a school and orphanage living quarters, inside and out, with new paint and onsite community works
- Increasing access to education skills training
