Hi Everyone,

I am thrilled to be participating in a medical relief and education mission trip to Port au Prince, Haiti, with members of Team Broken Earth Ottawa in October, 2019. Team Broken Earth is a non-profit group of volunteer Canadian healthcare professionals that provides medical assistance to Haiti and other underdeveloped countries, where some people wait for months with broken bones and other life-changing injuries. There are several Broken Earth Teams across Canada, including here in Ottawa.

This will be my first mission with Team Broken Earth, and I am really looking forward to helping to make a difference in the lives of the Haitian people. I will be organizing the medical equipment and providing logistics and daily support for the team while in Haiti.

As you can imagine, this type of trip is expensive to conduct. All of the work is conducted on volunteer time, but the team needs to provide medical equipment and supplies, as well as to cover patient expenses at the hospital in Haiti. There are also travel and logistics expenses for the team. The average trip cost per member is $2000.

Team members have created their own individual fundraising pages to collect donations in support of this effort, which is funded only by donations.

Please help us to reach our fundraising goals. Just click "Sponsor Me" to make a donation online. You will automatically receive a tax receipt electronically.

Thank you in advance for your generosity,

Mark
