I will be participating in a medical relief and education mission with members of Team Broken Earth in Guatemala in October 2022.
Our team of volunteer physicians and nurses will be performing specialized operations in plastic surgery for cleft lip and palate repair, general surgery, gynaecological, and orthopaedic surgeries. To offer this level of care to our patients we must purchase and transport specific equipment, supplies and raise funds to help cover the costs associated with this mission.
We fundraise to cover patient costs, all supplies, rent of the hospital and transportation of costs. All funds raised go directly to our specific team. THB and Partner for Surgery are both non profit organizations.
I have created my own fundraising page to collect donations in support of this effort.
Please help me reach my fundraising goals. Just click "Sponsor Me" to make a donation.
A little about my experience: I have been an operating room nurse for 3 years, starting my career at Lions Gate Hospital. From there I have branched out and worked at Squamish General Hospital, travel nurse contracts in Northern BC and out of province, and Cambie Surgery Centre. The operating room is a specialized field of nursing that requires additional education. It also provides further opportunities to enhance knowledge and to learn about newer or cutting edge technologies and procedures. I am privileged to be a part of a highly functionally interdisciplinary team where our primary focus is the patient safety, both in and out of the OR. I am passionate in what I do and honoured to go on this medical mission to help those in need in Guatemala.
Thank you in advance for your generosity and support!
