Sarah's Medical Mission Trip

Donation protected
Hi there! My name is Sarah Brenner and I am a junior at Florida State University majoring in Biological Sciences with a minor in Chemistry. I am a pre-medical student who has recieved her Certified Nurses Assistant license and is currently training to become an Emeregency Medical Responder for the FSU Medical Response Unit. My goal is to attend medical school and have a career as an orthopedic surgeon.

I have started this page because I have decided to go to Managua, Nicaragua during my winter break  this year (December 31 - January 8.) I will be travelling with FSU MedLife to aid locals by providing medical care, presenting educational information regarding health hazards, building infrastructure for clinics, schools and homes, and generally improving quality of life. The medical services we will provide are: general medicine, dental hygiene, triage, pharmacy, vaccinations, pediatric care and OB/GYN care . I will have the opportunity to work alongside doctors in these rural areas--doctors who will also ensure patient follow-ups once my team has departed. The people in these countries do not have access to healthcare or wealth like most modern countries have, so it is our responsibility to give ourselves and use our benefits to help improve the human condition everywhere in the world. 

I have been on 6 missions trips in the past 10 years. 5 of these trips were out of the country, with one in the Bahamas and four in Honduras (two in Tela and two in La Union). I am so incredibly passionate about serving others, especially those who do not have the benefits that we do here in the United States. I am in awe of the fact that I now have the opportunity to use my skills as a medical student and as a server of people to aid those in Nicaragua. 



My goal for this page is to raise $1,500.00 by December 5, 2016. These donations would not only go towards flight payments and program fees but also towards high quality supplies that I will bring with me for the villages. These supplies include: toothpaste/toothbrushes, first aid kits, water filters, ibprofen, vitamins, gloves, face masks and toys and sports equipment for children.

Any donation will be greatly appreciated and all proceeds are going directly towards the enrichment of these people's lives. I, and those in need, thank you for your time and contribution!
