Hello Family and Friends!

This summer I will have a very unique opportunity to join my fellow classmates on a Global health brigade Initiative to Nicaragua

Our group will be traveling to Nicaragua for 9 days and will be functioning like a mobile medical unit, setting up small clinics to diagnose and treat more than 900 patients at no cost. From in-take, to triage, to medical consultations, to filling the prescriptions, we will experience the many realms of the medical profession under the guidance of licensed medical professionals.

Please consider supporting our cause. All donations go towards purchasing medications, supplies and running the clinic.

Additionally, we would greatly appreciate donations of other supplies such as soap, toothpaste, or any hygiene products to give to each family at our Public Health education workshop. Medical Brigades strives to not only provide the patients with the essential medications needed to treat their current illnesses but to also provide them with the knowledge on how to prevent the most prevalent diseases in their community. Each family will receive a hygiene pack so that they have access to the tools that will aid in proper hygiene and sanitation.

As a medical brigade, we will use the medicine and supplies to provide basic health needs that are inaccessible to many Nicaraguan communities. Our top priority is to safely transport and administer the medications to the communities that we serve. In these harsh economic conditions, we realize our true wealth, including good health and access to healthcare. This contrasts with the developing world where there is a daily struggle to provide the most basic needs for Hondurans. However, through volunteering and awareness, we can show our gratitude for the privileges others do not receive. For this reason, we greatly appreciate any donation you are able to give and want to recognize your impact in these humanitarian efforts.

If you have any questions or would like to make a non-monetary donation such as hygiene products please contact me at pvillegas88@gmail.com.

Thank you for all your help! I appreciate your support in helping me achieve this exciting endeavor!

Sincerely,
Tracey Villegas
