Ghana Make a Difference Medical Surgical Mission

My name is Christine Sotelo, and I am a Registered Nurse in Salt Lake City, UT. I have been given a unique opportunity to join a team of professionals traveling to Ghana in October for the purpose of charitable surgery. Hosted by the Ghana Make a Difference organization, we hope to change many lives in the course of our 10 day mission.

From their own website:

"​Treatable medical tragedies disrupt millions of African families every year. Often parents are unable to work due to the needs of a sick child or they themselves have an unmet medical need that keeps them from being able to provide an income for their household. GMAD began a collaboration with Ghana Health Services, Graft Foundation and Latter-Day Saint Charities in an effort to put families on the path to self reliance by providing needed medical and surgical care. GMAD has been able to help hundreds of families receive desperately needed care by providing them access to healthcare providers, medical equipment, medications, and when necessary, surgical teams."

Due to the cost of vaccinations, visas, flight expenses, and room and board, I am asking for your help in facilitating a dream of mine that I have had for a long time- to be able to give surgical aid to families in impoverished nations.

Thank you so much for your consideration and generosity in my efforts.

Christine Sotelo, R.N.
