Fed's Service Trip to India
Donation protected
Hi Friends and Family!
Thank you for taking time to take a look at my page and having an interest in what I am up to. As many of you know, I am 2 months away form completing my Doctorate degree at Life West Chiropractic College in the Bay Area.
As some of you may remember, last year I started a GoFund me account to raise money to go on a Service trip to the South Pacific Islands and to India. I had amazing support form some incredible people however I did not reach the full amount. I was able to go to Fiji where we provided care for over 5,000 people in 5 days. This trip was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life and I will be forever grateful that I had the support of so many individuals.
In my previous post I mentioned that in January I was supposed to travel to India for another service trip. I was not able to make the trip happen. One of my fellow students who graduated in June was hoping to go so I offered him my spot so he would be able to attend. I did this knowing that I had the opportunity to travel to New Delhi this November.
So this November I will join 20 other students and doctors (of various health care disciplines) from around the world and travel to India to be part of the Sant Nirankari Mission. This event is held twice a year and draws over 1.5 million people to a temporary medical “city” where various health care practitioners volunteer their time to provide health services to the public. I will be part of the 60,000 volunteers that attend in order to make the event possible. My role will providing Chiropractic care to individuals who do not have the means or opportunity to get the type of care that they need.

Why Chiropractic?
Most associate Chiropractic with low back pain and headaches, however the potential of Chiropractic goes well beyond that. Chiropractic is the science, art and philosophy of detecting and removing vertebral subluxations. Subluxations are minor misalignment of spinal bones (vertebra) that cause the nerves exiting the spinal cord to become impinged. When this occurs, the brain is not able to communicate messages from the brain to the body and vice versa. A disconnect of these messages can interfere with heart rate, digestion or breathing. Chiropractic has been proven to decrease blood pressure, help with digestion, and even provide relief for asthma and allergies. With every adjustment we are providing neurological stimulation to the brain and positively affecting the neurological inputs for that individual. If there is an interference in the transmission of these messages, someone will not be able to function at their highest potential, which can impact physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well being. Chiropractic adjustments restore the brain-body connection in order to facilitate healing and improve nervous system communication.
Why do I need your help? The cost of the trip will be approximately $1,500 USD and will cover all potential expenses including flights, hotel, meals and transportation. Food and proper hydration is extremely important as we will be seeing a large volume of people in very hot conditions. This also accounts for the 8% commission fee GoFundMe charges, as well as the conversion rate from Canadian to American dollars. The value of this trip is more than just monetary, it will help me provide care for people who may not have access to basic health care needs, as well as provide an amazing growth experience for me as a practitioner.
From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for taking the time to read and learn what I have been doing. If you feel that it is within you to support this cause, I am grateful to receive your gift. I appreciate your generosity more than I can express with words. Your support inspires me to continue to serve people and drives my passion to continue this journey.
Love and thanks,
Fed
