Hi everyone,

My name is Max Gutierrez, and I'm currently a Senior at the University of Missouri, pursuing a degree in Health Sciences. I have been given a wonderful opportunity to participate in the Global Medical Training (GMT) trip to the Dominican Republic this winter, where I will be given the chance to work alongside a medical team to provide free healthcare to underserved communities. This trip will provide me hands-on global health experience with a community without consistent access to medical attention. To make this opportunity a reality, I need to raise money to cover the costs of this trip to the Dominican Republic.

This trip is a major stepping stone towards my path to becoming a healthcare provider. If you’re able to support financially — even $5 makes a difference — I’d be so grateful. And if you’re not in a position to donate, sharing this page with your friends and family means the world to me, too!

I promise to take everything I learn and experience and use it to serve others both abroad and here at home. I’ll also be sharing photos and updates along the way so you can see exactly how your support is making a difference

Thank you for your help as I encounter this next step of my journey!
