Give free surgeries to children in Ecuador !

Hi Friends and Family!

I have been blessed with an amazing opportunity to participate in a medical mission trip with HUGS Foundation Inc (www.helpusgivesmiles.org). I will be traveling to Quito, Ecuador in April and will be a scrub nurse in the operating room. On this trip, I will be helping to perform free surgeries for children who were born with a condition called microtia (missing ear). These kids are ostracized and bullied for a condition they were born with, and I am excited to help change their lives for the better.

I have to pay a team fee to participate, and I am reaching out in case you want to help! I will be volunteering my time, so I will not be getting paid for this. Every donation will be used to help pay for the trip and for small gifts to bring to the children and is tax-deductible.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me give back smiles to these children and allowing them to get the surgery they need!
