Support Nadine's Medical Mission to Guatemala

Help Me Provide Medical Care in Guatemala!

Hi everyone! My name is Nadine Sadaka, and I’m a first-year medical student at PCOM with a passion for global health and serving underserved communities. This summer, I have the incredible opportunity to travel to Guatemala with Global Medical Brigades to provide medical care, education, and public health support to communities that have limited access to healthcare.

Why This Mission Matters

In many areas of Guatemala, healthcare is scarce, and residents may go months or even years without seeing a doctor. Through this trip, I’ll be working alongside other medical students and professionals to:

✅Provide basic medical care to patients in rural communities

✅Educate families on preventative healthcare and hygiene

✅Assist with public health projects that create long-term change

Why I Need Your Help

This is a self-funded mission, meaning I am responsible for covering the costs of travel, lodging, medical supplies, and program fees. My goal is to raise $4000 to make this opportunity possible.

How You Can Make a Difference:

✅Any donation—big or small—makes a huge impact!

✅If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page with friends and family helps immensely!

Your support will not only help me gain valuable hands-on experience as a future physician but, more importantly, will allow me to bring healthcare to those who need it most. Thank you so much for your generosity and support!

About Our Cause: Global Medical Brigades:

Philadelphia Osteopathic Medical Students is a non-university affiliated chapter of Global Medical Brigades, an international movement of students and medical professionals working alongside local communities to implement sustainable health systems.

We work in remote, rural, and under-resourced communities in Honduras, Panama, Nicaragua, and Ghana—regions where access to healthcare is limited or nonexistent. Every 3-4 months, a new medical brigade visits each community, providing hundreds of patients with essential care and delivering public health education workshops.

Alongside medical support, Global Brigades helps communities with economic development, sanitation, and clean water projects, using a holistic approach to achieve long-term community health and sustainability.
