A group of medical specialists and volunteers arrived in Haiti with a purpose…to save lives. We were successful in aiding over 300 injured victims in local communities; Matissant, Fontamara, and Bel-Air. Our medical team consists of general doctors, pediatrics, gynecologists, emergency aid, and EMT specialists. They performed medical acts, which included everything from finger amputations to providing antibiotics and vitamins to the malnourished.  Our volunteers were a key factor in the process as they assisted our medical team in performing as well as maintaining the organization and security of the site. There were hundreds of victims that arrived at the site with expectations of receiving aid, however our medical supplies for the day was limited and we were not able to treat everyone. We continue to ask for your support in any way possible. There are still thousands of victims who have gone untreated, which could eventually lead to death. We encourage you to continue to support our efforts. We are in need of both medical supplies as well as medical volunteers. You can also support us by making a donation right now by following the link below.
