Finally back in the states after traveling for over 24 hours. It was a very long journey and I’ve had a lot of time to reflect back over the last week. It is so good to be back, but at the same time, I am sad that this amazing experience with an absolutely amazing team has come to an end. Even though I was scared to death about doing this on my own, this experience has far exceeded any expectations I had and I’ve made some wonderful new friends.

My heart is truly so full and I am so thankful I was able to be a part of this team. The team was made up of 42 amazing people from all over the U.S. The people of Kenya were absolutely wonderful and so kind and gracious. We were able to help 1,377 patients on this mission!!

If anyone is considering a mission trip, I hope you will consider International Medical Relief. I definitely hope to do more missions for sure and I will never forget this mission of a lifetime.

The IMR Haiti Medical Mission Trip was an amazing experience! I had the opportunity to meet, work with and get to know some of the most amazing people. We were able to help over 1,000 people in Haiti. They were very kind and glad to have us. I only wish we were able to do more for them.

To my family and friends, I could not have done this without your love and support! THANK YOU so much!!

To my IMR crew, you guys and girls were amazing. It was an honor and a privilege working with you. I’m going to miss you all!!

Thank you all for making this possible!

It’s true that despite the color of our skin or the language that we speak, we are more alike than different. Our hearts beat the same, we smile the same and love the same.

Thank you to the people of Haiti for filling my heart with so much gratitude and reassuring me that this is what I am meant to do. Thank you to International Medical Relief for allowing us to provide care for over 1,000 citizens and allowing me to work with an amazing crew! Until next time.

Truly humbled by this experience. It’s been amazing to not only work beside such a diverse group of people with a fellow passion for medicine, but to also care for these people who are so kind and patient.

Together we have triaged, diagnosed, prescribed for, and treated over 600 patients in just three days, and will continue for a few more days. We’ve seen everything from malaria, infectious wounds, amebiasis, tuberculosis… to appendicitis, sepsis, and splenomegaly.

All with the help of some skilled, hardworking translators.

It’s been exhausting but rewarding, and one of the few times in life I’m eager to wake up and start the day.

During IMR’s week in Haiti, our team was able to care for more than 1,000 people.

It never ceases to amaze me how great of an impact people can have when we come together for a unified mission. I mean, our team was just a bunch of strangers that all gathered in one place, with one goal: to serve and give to the people of Haiti.

How amazing!

To give selflessly is truly the GREATEST experience of being human. Thank you to IMR for being an organization that strives to make a difference in this world.
