The short version: I have an amazing opportunity to
go to Haiti for a week as part of a volunteer medical outreach team; I
need help covering the plane fare + some expenses (personal protective
equipment, hand sanitizer, stethoscope and BP cuff, etc.) I'm reaching
out to friends and family for help in this exciting endeavor.
The longer version: Haiti is the poorest country in
the Western hemisphere. It got a lot of press when it was struck by an
earthquake in 2010, but the need for so many things we take for
granted -- like the most basic medical care -- remains critical. Project Medishare organizes
groups of volunteers to provide care and train medical professionals
at Hospital Bernard Mevs in Port au Prince and other clinics
throughout the country. These, along with other outreach and education
programs, work to give Haitians the care, tools, and skills to build a
bright, sustainable future.
The pitch: So how about it? You know you've always
wanted to send me to a third world country. If you want, you can throw
some pocket change at me (you know you've always wanted to throw
something at me, too. Don't lie.) Even if we don't make goal, every
little bit helps and will go a long way. Help me help you help Haiti!
It's going to be awesome, and you're awesome just for reading this
far. Thank you.
