Medical Missions to Mango, Togo, West Africa

Donation protected
Dear friends & family,

In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, while working in the covid unit(s) at Penn State Hershey Medical Center, God placed a now-dear friend of mine into my life who shared the same passion as me for medical missions. Sarah has traveled to the Hospital of Hope in the past and established lifelong relationships. After months of talking about this trip, God seems to be working behind the scenes and helping it fall into place. This trip would take place January 2021 into February 2021 approximately a 31 day trip. 

Togo is located in western Africa, to the east of Ghana and west of Benin and Nigeria. Hospital of Hope, in Mango, is located in the northern region of Togo. The hospital we will be volunteering in is a 66-bed major medical, surgical, and acute care facility and regional trauma center. I will be oriented and trained to work wherever I am needed within the facility. This could be medical inpatient, surgical cases, outpatient clinic exam rooms and/or treatment rooms as well as potentially working with immunizations and prenatal clinics.

Samaritan's Purse also makes the trip to Hospital of Hope, and although we will not be going with a Sam's Purse group, our mission is the same. "to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ as we provide compassionate healthcare in His name." We will be staying off of the local compound in the town of Mango for our time in Togo with a local friends of Sarah's. 
I have attached a link of the hospital if you would like to look more into the facility as well as a video thats on their website.

Ever since my vision trip with Kind Human/Human Kind to Uganda, instilling clean water wells in November 2019, Africa has held a very special place in my heart. However, whether the funds become available and it happens or not, I am simply trying to be intentional and authentic in following my faith and not remain complacent. In doing so, I am attempting to fundraise and set up support such as this go fund me, to be sure that I am saying "yes" to Jesus wherever he does or doesn't take me. If this trip would not due to COVID 19 travel restrictions, rest assured I will get you your money back in as timely a fashion as possible. You will have the option to receive your money back, or donate it to the hospital I would have attended, Hospital of Hope. I appreciate you reading up to this point and giving financially if you so feel called to do so!

In addition to this gofundme, I will be hosting a fundraiser with one of my favorite companies, CostaMundo, where every purchase not only do they give to Savethechildren.org but they promote communication within schools from children in the US to children in other countries, to instill an early love and recognition for culture and just people, no matter their background or skin color. Savethechildren.org assists in helping with school supplies, food and resources in developing countries. CostaMundo has also worked with other philanthropies such as Samaritan's Purse.
Purchasing from them NOW, you will get FREE shipping and a tax free purchase AND a percentage will assist me in going to spread love for Jesus in Togo, Africa. (I truly think that alone says so much about this company). I hope & pray you'll support them - to do so you can browse their website options with the link below and then just reach out to me via text or purchase online via Costa Mundo's website with the PROMO code "Togo":
