<div>Hi! My name is Mia, and I am a first year OTD-Hybrid student at the Medical University of South Carolina.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This May, I have the privilege of traveling to Belize as part of my Level I Fieldwork clinical rotation with the Medical University of South Carolina’s Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD) program, alongside a group of fellow MUSC OTD students ✈️
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>During this experience, we will be partnering with Therapy Volunteers, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide life-changing pediatric therapy services to underserved global communities Therapy Volunteers offers high-quality, cost-free occupational and speech-language therapy while collaborating with local partners to promote sustainable, long-term impact.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As part of this required clinical rotation, our student team will help deliver pediatric occupational therapy and speech-language therapy services in clinics and local schools , supporting children who have limited access to therapeutic care. This hands-on experience will allow us to apply our academic training while learning from and serving communities through a lens of cultural humility and global health.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This opportunity aligns deeply with my career goal of becoming a pediatric occupational therapist committed to service-based practice However, participating in this fieldwork rotation involves significant costs related to travel, housing, program fees, and clinical supplies.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am raising funds to help offset these expenses so I can fully participate in this educational and service-driven experience. Any contribution—no matter the size—will directly support my clinical education and help expand access to pediatric therapy services for children in Belize.
</div>
<div>Thank you so much for your support, encouragement, and belief in my journey. I am truly grateful for any help in making this opportunity possible!!
