I am excited to share that this summer, on behalf of International Medical Relief, I will be working alongside other qualified volunteers and medical professionals to provide health care in some of the most impoverished regions of Guatemala. We are confident that we will be able to help more people than ever, but we need financial assistance to help the trip be successful.

The majority of the cases we will witness are treatable and 90% of the funds go directly toward medicines and medical supplies to help these people and save lives. The information we provide to both the patient and the local health care community will be invaluable to them long after we leave. We will be providing humanitarian outreach to the physical needs of these people and also give them hope through community health classes, caring, sharing, and showing them our compassion. While our group is not enough to treat all the sick, it is nevertheless necessary to plant the seeds of hope in their lives for a promising future.
