The Mercyship: Support Tom’s Service in Madagascar

Hi, I'm Tom Strandwitz, and I am a recent graduate of the Harris College of Nursing and Health Sciences at Texas Christian University. I'm raising funds for Mercy Ships, a global charity that has been operating a fleet of hospital ships that deliver essential medical care in developing nations since 1978.

This summer, I have the amazing opportunity to deliver care aboard the Africa Mercy in Madagascar, helping to provide life-changing surgeries, train local health professionals, and support community health initiatives with essential supplies and resources.

Fundamentally, I believe healthcare is a human right and that my purpose is to be the one delivering that care in the most direct and tangible way possible. Healthcare for all includes our most vulnerable brothers and sisters all over the globe, and I'm proud to be supporting an organization like Mercy Ships with such an unwavering commitment to ensuring those with the least reliable access to care get what they need.

I’m honored to be one of five students chosen to serve with Mercy Ships this summer. Any extra funds I raise will support my fellow students and help deliver life-changing surgical care.

Every contribution, no matter how small, plays a vital role in continuing this important mission. Please consider donating today to help Mercy Ships bring healing and hope to those who need it most. Thank you for your generosity!
