Support Amber's Dental Mission Trip to Athens, Greece!

Hello!

My name is Amber Nasir Garcia, and I’m excited to announce that I have been selected to participate in a dental mission trip with Global Brigades. As a pre-dental student at Florida International University, this opportunity is a significant step toward my goal of becoming a dentist and giving back to underserved communities.

From July 27, 2025, to August 2, 2025, I will be traveling to Athens, Greece, with fellow students to provide crucial dental care to communities that lack access to these essential services. Many individuals in Greece, particularly in refugee communities and low-income areas, have limited access to basic dental care. Oral health is often overlooked, yet it plays a vital role in overall well-being, confidence, and quality of life.

Why This Trip Matters:
During this mission, I will be working alongside dental professionals and other students to provide cleanings, fillings, extractions, and oral hygiene education to those in need. Our goal is to not only treat immediate issues but also help people understand how to maintain their oral health long-term. This experience will allow me to apply my skills and make a direct, positive impact on the lives of others.

Global Brigades is an organization dedicated to improving healthcare access in underserved areas. You can learn more about their mission at https://fundraise.globalbrigades.org/empowered/chapter/florida-international-university-dental-brigades

To make this mission a reality, I need to raise $3,300 to cover the costs of travel, accommodation, and dental supplies. Your support whether through a donation or sharing my story will help bring much-needed care to those who have limited options for oral healthcare.

Thank you so much for considering supporting my journey and helping me take a meaningful step toward my future in dentistry!

Warm regards,

Amber Nasir Garcia
