Last year I had the most amazing opportunity to go out of the U.S. for the first time, and help with a medical mission to Cameroon in West Africa. Over the course of 4 clinic days, we saw and helped over 1,200 people who drove, rode motorbikes, and walked from miles and miles away just to see us!!!
The prior summer I had the pleasure of guiding a lovely family around Universal for a private VIP tour, and they spoke passionately about doing medical missions across the world, of which they’ve dedicated over 10 years of their lives! I believe God gave me that opportunity, as I had prayed for months to have a chance for a mission abroad. This October 2018, I will be traveling again with this wonderful organization (West African Community Missions) to Jamaica, along with many team members who also went to Cameroon!
We will be going to Port Antonio, Jamaica, as well as a couple other more rural towns. Port Antonio used to be quite the draw for glamorous movie shoots and movie stars in the 40’s and 50’s, but fizzled in the 80’s. The country as a whole has been gaining more tourism over the past decade, but there are still many areas in poverty. People have low income, little education, and little to no access to basic healthcare. We aim to provide free healthcare and medicine to this somewhat forgotten area, as well as hand out eyeglasses, clothing, and toys.
The total cost for my trip is $1750, which will cover: travel and visa expenses, immunizations, cooperation with local officials, as well as in-country costs like food, lodging, and transportation. The church base that is hosting us will provide the in-country necessities, and much of the money will go directly to them. This way we can provide professional healthcare and support their local economy as well!
The mission is through West African Community Missions, which is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit charity. Tax deduction, anyone?
Please donate if you feel so inclined and are capable of doing so!!! I will appreciate any prayers and support I can get, and I know God will provide what I need! If you are unable to donate, please share this campaign online or by word of mouth. Help me get to Jamaica so I can spread love and healing and light to all whom I encounter!!!!!!!
