As great as our team members are (and they are!), we can’t do this alone<\/strong>: We need the support of our family, friends, and community. Please take a moment to consider supporting this mission.<\/p>\n

Monetary Donations<\/h2>\n

All monetary donations received are used to purchase medical supplies, medications, food for distribution, Days for Girls hygiene kits, construction materials, and other items in order to provide the services so desperately needed.<\/p>\n

Here are a few ideas as to what your donation can purchase.<\/p>\n\t

Sponsor a Medical Clinic Day<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\"\"<\/a>\n\"\"\nSponsor our team for one day to hold a medical clinic in one of the bateyes. Often, this is the only medical care these people get all year as they have no means to travel to the hospital.\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\tindex.php\/thankyou\/”>\n<\/form>\n

Sponsor a Duffel Bag full of Supplies<\/strong><\/h3>\n\"\"<\/a>\n\"\"\nWe’ll buy various medical supplies such as over-the-counter medicines, bandages, and medical devices, and stuff them into a duffel bag. Each team member will bring two 50-pound bags.\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\tindex.php\/thankyou\/”>\n<\/form>\n

Hospital Construction & Hurricane Relief<\/strong><\/h3>\n\"\"<\/a>\n\"\"\nThe Good Samaritan Hospital, which our teams have helped build from the ground up, is constructing a new operating suite. We will also help repair damaged bateyes from Hurricane Fiona.\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\tindex.php\/thankyou\/”>\n<\/form>\n

Days for Girls Hygiene Kits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\"\"<\/a>\n\"\"\nYoung women in the Dominican Republic, especially in the remote sugarcane villages, do not have access to feminine hygiene supplies. This has a negative impact on their families and the local economy. This Days for Girls Kit, with education, allows these young women to continue their education or jobs, uninterrupted by days missed each month.\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\tindex.php\/thankyou\/”>\n<\/form>\n

Or, donate any amount! Donations of any amount will directly benefit the people we serve in the La Romana region.\n\"\"<\/a>\n\n\t<\/h3>
