Thank you for visiting.
Several times each year, Patricia and a group of trained
professionals
travel, at their own expense, to South and Central America bringing much
needed medical and dental aid to those in need. The team is
made up
of Doctors, Dentists, Missionaries and Volunteers who donate not just
their time but their money and supplies as well.
Two trips are required to each country.
The first of the trips is to identify those in need and who could
benefit from our medical and other assistance. During this initial
trip,
we measure for prosthetics, identify additional needs and make
detailed and thorough records.
We then return to the States and begin the work on getting
the personalized prosthetics built, gathering the medical and
dental items we will need to take back in preparation for
trip number two.
The second trip is when we take the supplies back and
individually fit the prosthetics, teach the recipients how to use
them, set up the dental clinics and medical facilities and more.
Merely clicking on the links on the right will take you
on a most special tour and pictorial visit which will make you feel
as though you were there personally taking part in helping.....
Care to help financially, through your expertise, with your
donations of supplies or in any other way? Drop me an e-mail
or contact by phone or mail.
Thank you for your interest and for visiting this site.
All proceeds from my storytelling goes to support her work.
Patricia and her team will be taking the 2nd trip to Costa Rica this March
2002.
They were there previously measuring for the limbs and a fact finding mission as
to
the needs they would have to meet when they returned. They are taking a
container load of medical supplies including a complete dental office and over
$100,000 worth of artificial arms and legs mostly for children and young adults.
They will be there for a week fitting the artificial limbs and teaching the
people to use them as well as doing medical work in the villages.
