Hello everyone,

I will be participating in a surgical mission with members of Team Broken Earth in Antigua, Guatemala November of 2026.

Many people in rural Guatemala have little access to surgical care. The goal of this mission is to offer immediate treatment to those in need by providing surgical services and offering support and education to the local healthcare system.

Team Vancouver will be returning to Guatemala this November for its second mission of 2026. Earlier this year, a small group of volunteers travelled to rural communities to assess and triage patients requiring surgery. From November 22–27, a larger surgical team of 50 volunteers will return to Antigua to perform these essential procedures. This will be our team's seventh surgical mission to Guatemala, working in partnership with 'Partner for Surgery'.

This will be our largest mission to date, with six operating rooms running simultaneously for the first time: two dedicated to general surgery, one to urology, one to gynaecology, and two to orthopaedics (upper extremity and total knee replacements).

I am fundraising to help cover trip fees to provide surgical care as well as medical supplies and patient treatment costs.  Please click "Sponsor Me" to make a donation and help me reach my fundraising goals! 

I truly appreciate any contribution, and thank you for your generosity and support to help make this mission possible!
