As some of you know I will be traveling to Zimbabwe this May 2025 with my parents to participate in an Operation of Hope mission. Dr. Paulshock (my Dad) will provide pediatric anesthesia and I will be working as a floor nurse. My Mom will serve to help document the experience and as an extra non-medical hand.

I have been looking forward to participating in an opportunity like this since I became a nurse, and it will serve as an end to my bedside career before I start CRNA school at Barry University class 2028. I feel beyond fortunate to be able to participate in this mission alongside my parents. Truly a once in a lifetime.

As you might imagine, there are many costs and fees associated with this mission. Flights, lodging, and of course toys for the kids are adding up quickly. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you so much!
