Guatemala Mission Trip 2024

Hi Im Kerry Collado and as many of you have seen I’m a first year Doctor of Physical Therapy student studying at Dominican University of New York. I am thrilled to share an exciting educational opportunity that has presented itself, a chance to make a meaningful impact in the lives of people in Guatemala.

I am fundraising money for the Guatemala Mission Trip through Hearts in motion. This unique experience will allow my classmates along with 2nd, and 3rd year students to travel to Guatemala to provide our assistance and services to those in need.

Our goal is to raise funds that will directly contribute to improving the lives of the people of Guatemala who are in need. The funds that will be collected through this campaign will primarily be allocated towards essential expenditures for the mission trip, which includes transportation, housing, and supplies needed to provide physical therapy and any extra donations will be given to the organization themselves.

As a first year student this will help me gain more hands on experience and challenge my knowledge of all the things I have learned over the past year in PT school. As well as allowing me and my classmates to gain new experiences in a different environment which will ultimately help us to become better doctors of physical therapy once we graduate.

I am committed to keeping you all updated as always throughout my journey, sharing stories and photos that highlight the positive changes we have achieved together. Your support means more than words can express, and I am truly grateful for any contribution you can make, and if you can’t make a contribution then simply just sharing this with others and spreading the word would be appreciated as well.
