Dominican Republic and Haiti Mission Trip

Hello family, friends, and colleagues! 

Thank you for taking the time to check out what I’m up to. As you may or may not know, I’m currently a 4th quarter Chiropractic student at Life University in Atlanta, Georgia. This first year of school has been an amazing one. With so many new friends made, all with a common mission of bringing health and love  to people, through Chiropractic. I’m happy to report I’ve found my passion. 

On September 28th, 2019, I will begin an 8-day mission trip that will give me the opportunity to serve the people of Dominican Republic and Haiti. Through these 8 days, doctors and students from around North America will be providing care, and adjusting nearly 30’000 people!! The changes made in the communities we reach will be astounding! 


I’ll be traveling with 21 other students from Life University. All of these individuals have an inspirational desire to care for others, which shows through their training and preparation for the service trip. We will be flying from the Hartsfield-Jackson International airport to the Dominican Republic, where we will be meeting up with our coordinator Dr. Peter Morgan. Dr. Morgan runs Chiro Missions, and you can find out more about his organization below.

Why Chiropractic? Chiropractic is the science, art and philosophy of detecting and removing vertebral subluxations. Subluxations are slight misalignments of spinal bones (vertebrae) that cause the pressure to be put on the nerves exiting the spinal cord. When this occurs, the brain is not able to properly communicate messages to the body and vice versa. These messages can be for heart rate, digestion, and even breathing. The brain also allows us to interact with the world... how we feel, who we love, and what motivates us. If there is an interference in the transmission of these messages, it results in an inability for a person to function at their highest potential. The impact of this can be physical, mental, and/or emotional. Chiropractic adjustments restore the brain-body connection to facilitate healing, and improve communication through the nervous system. 


Why do I need your help? In order to make this trip a reality, it is going to require money. My goal of $3000 will cover all potential expenses... flights, food, ground transportation, adjusting table, and lodging (8 days). Food and proper hydration is especially important given the conditions and volume of people we will serve. 

If you feel it in your heart to support this cause, I am more appreciative than you know. Your support inspires me to step outside of my comfort zone and work to serve as many people as I possibly can. I am looking forward to seeing the lives we change together :).
