Hello all! My name is Simonne Sequeira, and I am a fourth-year veterinary medical student with a deep passion for service-based medicine and global health. I am raising funds to participate in an upcoming veterinary medical service trip with Floating Doctors, a nonprofit organization that provides free, life-saving medical and veterinary care to underserved communities in remote regions. The service trip I will be participating in is based in Panama for two weeks.

Floating Doctors works in areas where access to veterinary care is extremely limited. Animals in these communities are vital — they provide companionship, food security, transportation, and economic stability. By improving animal health, we directly support the health, well-being, and resilience of the people who depend on them.

During this trip, I will work alongside licensed veterinarians and healthcare professionals to:

As a veterinary student, this experience will allow me to apply my clinical training in a meaningful, real-world setting while continuing to grow as a compassionate and globally minded veterinarian.

Funds raised will go directly toward:

Every contribution, no matter the size, brings me one step closer to serving communities and animals that truly need it. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser also makes a huge difference.

Thank you so much for your support, encouragement, and belief in my journey and in the mission of Floating Doctors. I am incredibly grateful for the help!
