In 2018, we traveled to Haiti to support a medical mission in a town about 40 minutes north of Port au Prince. We saw the harsh realities of illness and extreme poverty, but we also witnessed something just as powerful: resilience, generosity, and hope. People who had very little still found ways to care for others. This experience deepened our commitment to service and reminded us how dignity, community and hope can shine even in the most difficult times.
We witnessed sickness and extreme poverty, but we also saw hope. People who had nothing of their own were willing to help others. Families lined up patiently with their children, waiting to be seen by the medical team. The need was immense, but the spirit of the community was unbreakable. Our volunteer doctors and healthcare workers provided consultations, basic treatments, and care to as many patients as possible throughout the mission.
My family and I had the good fortune of going to Haiti in 2018 to help out at this medical mission. What we found there went beyond what we could provide medically. We found a community that, despite facing unimaginable challenges, held onto hope and each other. This mission was the beginning of our commitment to international healthcare outreach and laid the foundation for everything that followed.
Help us continue providing essential care to underserved communities around the world.
