Erica's Message

Dear Friends and Family,

Welcome to my project page! Thank you for visiting!

I will be traveling to Panama in May with other medical and design students from Philadelphia University as part of the Global Medical Brigades, one of the largest student-led global health and sustainable development organizations. Every 3-4 months, a brigade of students and faculty travel to areas in the world where there is limited or no access to healthcare. We work with licensed medical professional to establish mobile medical clinics in under resourced communities. We will perform wellness checks and provide treatment.

I believe one way to effectively show love to people is to meet their physical needs first. No one should be denied the access to healthcare just because they were not born in as fortunate of a country such as ours. I would like to ask you to contribute to my trip. The funds raised help pay for the projects during the brigade and all the things necessary to ensure the brigade runs as smoothly as possible. Our goal is to raise at least $1642 per person. EVERY PENNY COUNTS! Thank you ahead of time for helping to conspire for good in the world.

All contributions are sincerely appreciated and necessary to make this project possible. Every step towards social change helps make a difference! If you are interested in making a donation to this project, simply click on the 'DONATE' button. It's the fastest and most efficient way to contribute and is 100% secure.

Sincerely,
Erica Mora

P.S. Thanks again for checking out my page! And feel free to forward this page to anyone you know who might be interested in donating or volunteering. Let's change the world together!

Volunteer Activity Description

Medical Brigades at Philadelphia University is a chapter of Global Brigades, the world's largest student-led global health and sustainable development organization. The Philadelphia University chapter systematically works with more than 300 other university groups around the world to deliver and implement one of nine skill-based programs that benefit more than 130,000 Honduran and Panamanian community members annually. GMB develops sustainable health initiatives and provides relief where there is limited access to healthcare. Each community receives a brigade every 3 to 4 months where hundreds of patients are treated and volunteers deliver public health workshops. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends.
