Hi Friends and Family- Thank you so much for taking the time to check out my page! I recently joined the Global Medical Brigades team at the UC Davis. Global Medical Brigades is a non-profit organization that seeks to provide medical relief in underdeveloped communities. In these communities, clinics are scarce, and when they do exist they are often without sufficient medicine or are severely under staffed, leaving families with ailments both untreated and undiagnosed, sometimes for an entire lifetime. To help resolve this disparity, Global Brigades has worked with local government, international and local doctors, and student leaders to develop a Medical program with the goal to provide consistent access to healthcare using an economically sustainable model. In June of 2015, I will join a team of students on a 9-day brigade in Nicaragua. If possible, I would really appreciate a donation on your behalf. Your donation would help cover the cost of my travel to the country and to pay for medications we bring over from the United States. Any donation, big or small, is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for your support!

Sincerely,
Alexis
