Not Super Heros, Um, World Travelers In London.
I have made this a common topic on all of my social media outlets except for this one...so I believe it is about time I add a little blurb about it here. The big mysterious IT so happens to be an upcoming trip.
Waaaay back (3 years ago to be exact) I was given of a great opportunity to travel to Ecuador on a medical mission trip with a few of my professors. Unfortunately, because of political changes in Ecuador it was no longer safe for humanitarian groups to travel within the country. I was extremely disappointed by moved on.
FAST-FORWARD 3 YEARS
Sitting in a cochlear implant meeting during a clinical rotation on December 10th, my phone starts blowing up! Text emails, phone calls and text messages from a professor...
Um, HELL YES! To make the whole story shorter, Dr. Jennifer Holst, Au.D. tells me that she has been told about a medical mission trip to Peru that is looking for an audiology group to go. Without a doubt I accept. She proceeds to tell me that 5 days from this phone call, I need to put a down payment of $500 to secure my spot. Okay, I can do that. Did it. She tells me that I will need to pay the remaining $2900 by January 15th, 2016. Holy crap that is a lot of money.
In response to the financial shock...I have started a Gofundme account. Everyone who knows me, knows that I HATE asking people for help especially when it requires some kind of financial contribution. With a heavy heart, I am reaching out to my friends, family and friends of friends to help me make this dream come true.
To shed a little light on what I will actually be doing in Peru during this trip, I will be traveling with 2 audiologists providing free services to the people of Peru. Some of the services I will be helping provide include hearing tests, ear wax removal, and when possible fitting hearing aids on people with hearing impairments. As a 3rd year Doctor of Audiology student, I am more than qualified to perform these treatments for a people ranging from infants to those in their 90s.
I would be extremely grateful to anyone that is willing to help me make this dream mission come to life. Every donation from $10 to $100 helps me get closer! Thank you for your donation and please pass the word along!
