Support My Chiropractic Mission Trip to the Philippines

Hi, my name is Jo Dee, and I’m a 5th year chiropractic student at the Australian Chiropractic College.

From August 16–30, I’ll be travelling to the Philippines as part of a chiropractic outreach mission organised through IMU University and Intercare. Alongside a team of chiropractic interns and professionals, I’ll be providing free care to individuals and families in under-resourced communities, many of whom have little or no access to basic healthcare services.

I’m currently raising funds to support this mission. These funds will go towards my travel and accommodation expenses, essential portable tools and equipment for care, and contributions to community outreach supplies.

My passion for chiropractic care runs deep. Over the past six years working as a chiropractic assistant, and in the last 1.5 years providing care as a student intern at the ACC Chiropractic Centre, I’ve seen firsthand the life-changing impact this profession can have. Chiropractic has helped people when nothing else has, sometimes as a last resort, sometimes as a first step, and in each case, I’ve witnessed remarkable improvements in health, hope, and quality of life.

Having had a lot of experience living in developing countries with little to no medical resources, I know what poverty and lack of healthcare access looks like. Until now, I’ve only been able to help by donating money, but this is my opportunity to give back in a much more meaningful way: by donating my time, my skills, and my heart.

If you’re able to contribute, I’d be incredibly grateful. Every donation, big or small, will help make this trip possible, and bring care to people who truly need it. If you can’t donate, simply sharing this page is a huge help.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and support this mission of healing and hope.

— Jo Dee
