Medicine for Refugees

Donation protected
We're setting up a medical clinic through a group in Amman, Jordan to serve Syrian, Iraqi, and Palestinian refugees.  We will be there from September through December of 2018. 

100% of the money raised will go towards purchasing medical supplies and medication, as the rest of the trip is already financially covered.  

The organization that we're working with in Amman is currently serving several thousand refugee families.  These individuals have little ability to pay for medical care and can use this financial assistance.  

Anything you can give would be a help!

Go Fund Me wants us to specifically answer the following questions.  Please see below if you're interested in these details too:

Q1) Who you are and where you’re from
A1) We're a family of 6 from Spring Arbor Michigan and heading to Jordan to do medical relief in the fall of 2018

Q2) Your relationship with the parties for whom you are raising funds and your method of contact with them
A2) We are working with a church in the Hashmi district of Amman that is helping us set up a medical clinic.  Refugees will come to the clinic and the money will be spent on buying them medications, tests, etc.  

Q3) How the funds will be spent (be specific as possible)
A3) Instead of bringing medicine to Jordan, which is an administrative headache, we were told to bring money to spend on medicine there.  Also, we don't know what kinds of medical problems we will see, so it makes sense to have a pool of money to purchase tests and medicine for those who come to the clinic.  For instance, if person A comes and we suspect they have cancer, then we can use the money for them to get a biopsy.  If person B comes and needs stitches, then we can buy suture.  

Q4) Your specific plan for how the funds will be withdrawn from and sent to the beneficiary of the campaign
A4) I, Matthew Hill, will withdraw the funds regularly to be able to purchase medical supplies as the patients come in.  I will keep a running list of the medicine purchased and will post a spreadsheet to this page

Q5) A5) I, Matthew Hill, will be withdrawing the funds raised from GoFundMe to my personal bank account in order to purchase the medicine once we get to Amman

Q6) How you will deliver these funds into Amman
A6) I, Matthew Hill, withdraw them from our personal account and purchase medicines (depending on the sickness and need) and then show that on an excel spreadsheet I will be emailing out on  a regular basis

Q7) Clarification on if you will simply donate the funds to Impact Middle East, or if you will be purchasing medicine, which medicine, where will you get it and who will deliver the medicine to the organization.
A7) We will be working with Impact Middle East and purchasing medicine once we're there.  We will be purchasing antibiotics, suture, blood pressure medicine, and diabetes medicine. We will purchase from local pharmacies.  Helene Hill will deliver the medicine in the clinic that she is running.  

Hope that helps. 

Thank you from the Hill family
