This May, I will be traveling with my fellow classmates, professors and graduates from Mercy College to Nicaragua to provide medical care to the underserved through a program called Global Brigades. Global Brigades is an international non-profit organization that offers skill-based brigades for volunteers to resolve global health and economic disparities. Their brigades inspire all involved to collaboratively work towards an equal world.

Mercy College’s PA program has been traveling to Nicaragua over the past few years, enabling us to form a strong foundation and bond with the individuals we help. A majority of the people who live in Nicaragua do not have access to healthcare, therefore, each year hundreds of families walk for miles to our clinics to be examined and treated. Every year they are incredibly appreciative for all of our time and commitment to improving their health.

This has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember. Now, I can finally serve those in need with the medical knowledge I have acquired as a PA student. Any support you can provide will make a difference. Donations will go towards medications for patients, medical supplies, transportation, and housing in Nicaragua. As a donor, you are helping us help others. I deeply appreciate all of your support!
