Help Hannah Provide Medical Supplies & Care in Guatemala

Donation protected
Hi everyone! I am going to participate in a medical volunteering trip to Guatemala. Every year, some students from the Northeastern University PA Program volunteer in a rural area of Guatemala which has poor access to quality medical supplies and care. This is done in collaboration with Promised Land Ministries, which is a non-profit Christian organization. Promised Land Ministries has a permanent base in the Lake Atitlan area of Guatemala where they aim to support the local community in various ways. Working with medical volunteers (like me and my program) is just one of these ways!

On this trip, we will provide medical checkups, medications, and treatments to patients who typically are unable to access medical care. In past years, the students in our program have helped over 250 patients during their 1-week stay. If any patients need follow-up care, such as a biopsy for a suspicious mass, Promised Land Ministries also does a great job at organizing transportation and support to get those patients to major cities where they can receive that care.

The vast majority of money raised for this trip will go directly to pay for medications and medical supplies which we will bring with us and provide free to patients. Only a small portion of the money will be used to cover the cost of my stay. I really appreciate any and all support! This is something I am very excited to do and any amount of support makes a big difference. Thank you! :)
