Join me and change lives in Guatemala

Hi, I’m Summer Liu and this year I’ll be joining the Osborne Head and Neck Foundation’s medical mission to Guatemala. Last summer I was given the opportunity to join the medical scholars program.

For me, the medical program was a way to decide whether or not I wanted to be a doctor. I came to a decision when I saw a video of one of the patients getting his hearing back after going through surgery and being so happy he started crying. After seeing it I realized 2 things. First, the videos that show someone being helped in some miraculous way actually happen in real life. Second, I want to be able to help people in the same way. So when I was given the chance to join the medical mission, I jumped at the opportunity.

This trip to Guatemala will allow the underserved communities to receive the medical services they need. With your help, these patients will be able to get medical care with the proper equipment and supplies. Please join me in fundraising for the 2023 Medical Mission to Guatemala.

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