Hello Family and Friends,

I just want to start out by saying I really appreciate you taking time out of your day to read what I have to say!

As you may know, I am a Junior at the University of Missouri, working towards a career in the medical field as a Respiratory Therapist. Not long ago I came across an incredible opportunity to travel to Nicaragua in January 2017 to help people in need of healthcare services through an organization called Global Medical Training. Global Medical Training is an International Humanitarian non-profit organization that provides free healthcare and medicine to underprivileged and underserved communities in Central America. This organization seeks to empower students with knowledge and awareness of the humanitarian need that exists in the world today.

As much as I am excited about this fantastic opportunity, I am still in need of financial support to make it a reality. I am working diligently to earn money myself by working a part-time job and participating in fundraising events with the Global Medical Training team. However I do not believe I can do it on my own. This is where I could use your help! My goal is to raise $2,000 in order to go on this trip. The money raised will work towards delivering medical practices, distributing medicine, the flight to Nicaragua, and lodging. Any donation, no matter how large or small, would be greatly appreciated and more importantly, make a difference. If you are unable to support me financially, any thoughts and prayers are equally appreciated.

I’d like to thank you for taking the time to read this and hope you consider helping me experience this opportunity of a lifetime that will help prepare me for a future career as a medical professional.
