Hello, all! My name is Ellie Churdar and I was just accepted into dental school at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). For the last several months, I have had the privilege of working for Dr. Bill Sasser . He is a Christian dentist who has devoted his career to providing dental care for the underprivileged locally at North Charleston Dental Outreach as well as all over South and Central America. Last week, Dr. Sasser invited me to go on the next missions trip to Quito, Ecuador (March 8-15, 2025) along with a team of other dentists and dental students associated with his missions organization Dental Community Fellowship (DCF). This is a fantastic opportunity not only to serve the people of Quito, but also to learn from highly-skilled dentists who live out their Christian faith through their profession.

Dental Community Fellowship does not pay for this trip, so it is up to each participant to raise their support. The total cost is going to be $2,200 (this total includes $1,200 DCF requires; $900 for my airfare and a 2.9% GoFundMe surcharge). I would greatly appreciate your help as I work to raise the funds for this mission. The deadline for me to raise this money is February 19, 2025. I am so thankful to the Lord for giving me the opportunity to go on this mission trip before I start dental school. Thank you very much for your consideration, support and prayers!
