Join me in helping Guatemala
I need your support in traveling to Guatemala to provide healthcare services for the impoverished people who rely on volunteer-staffed healthcare clinics. I am partnering with Internation Volunteers Headquarters to work in a clinic just outside of Antigua starting in January. Your donation will go to covering the cost of travel and insurance, international training, and daily accommodations such as food and bus fares.
I'm accepting donations through the website FundMyTravel, and you can find my campaign under the title of "Help Jessica provide medical care for Guatemalans in need"
You can also follow me on Instagram and Facebook for program updates!

From the FundMyTravel page:
"Connect with the people in Guatemala who rely on volunteer healthcare providers by donating to my volunteer trip to Guatemala. There, I will be one of several volunteers who travel to staff a medical clinic and provide healthcare services for the local men, women, and children in need. Your donation goes to cover the costs of international cultural training, medical equipment, and travel expenses.
After many years of wishing, I’m jumping right in to my dream: to travel across the world to connect with and provide for impoverished communities of people. My first stop is to Guatemala, where I will connect with a team of other healthcare volunteers and locals to provide medical care in a clinic. There we will be providing resources to the Guatemalan people: education, vaccinations, medications, and other necessary medical interventions. Sometimes, even just the touch of a hand at the right time is what someone needs, and I want to be there for that moment.
But I can’t do it alone. Each volunteer trip is a community experience, and together we can support the Guatemalan people with what have to share. Please donate to the Guatemalan people and to their health. Come with me on this journey!"
