Help Fundraise for Essential Medical Supplies in Philippines

Hi, My name is Freya and I’m currently in my second year of Children’s Nursing at the University of Manchester.

This summer I will be attending an elective placement in The Philippines, volunteering in Iloilo for 7 weeks. I am very excited to learn from these healthcare workers to develop my nursing knowledge and skills, alongside discovering new cultures.

Hospitals in the Philippines often struggle with being overwhelmed and have shortages of even the most basic medical tools like gloves, gauze, IV fluids, and sterile syringes - things we take for granted - and greatly benefit from donations for supplies critical to patient care. I therefore wish to offer my support where I can by fundraising for medical supplies and donating them when I arrive.

I am asking for your support in bringing aid to this community, no matter the size of your donation it will make a big impact to their lives.

In order to further my fundraiser, alongside others in my cohort, I will be hiking Mount Snowden to raise funds. This cause is incredibly important to me and I hope to make a difference where I can.

It will be greatly appreciated if you share my page with others or donate any amount you can.

Thank you so much!

Freya
