Every 10 minutes, a new person is added to the organ transplant list (organdonor.gov). That’s 144 people each and every day.

My mother has worked for Children’s Mercy for nine years, and it has been a huge blessing to hear about all of the wonderful things that Children’s Mercy does for our community. As a result of Children’s Mercy being a not for profit hospital, their funding must come from sources outside of their patients. One of the biggest fundraisers that Children’s Mercy conducts is called The Big
Dr. Paul Farmer has been referred to as a saint for most of his professional career as a physician, not just at Harvard University, where he attended medical school and taught, at Boston Brigham and Women’s Hospital, where he worked as a physician, but also in Russia, Lima, Peru and even Haiti where he worked to eradicate tuberculosis. Dr. Farmer wanted to help those people who couldn’t help themselves. He wished to “give a voice, to the voiceless.” This wish was a major part of the book Mountains Beyond Mountains, written by Tracy Kidder. Dr. Farmer had a unique style of administering care to the people of Haiti.
At the end of his presentation, we were all wondering what we could do to help this cause, to which he responded “tell 2 people about The Lost Boys”.

But we didn’t really know what that meant.” (Ishiguro 69) The ‘students’ of Hailsham lived very sheltered lives and that could have had a lot to do with it. They were told what was to happen once they became donors, but they did not truly know what that demanded of them. One of the short stories in Octavia Butler’s Bloodchild and other stories was “Bloodchild”.

and I know we want to donate but larger NGOs or nonprofits often leave us wondering how much of our donations actually make it to those in need. But wonder no more! Thanks to an amazing Hungarian-Romanian Teacher, Zsusza Nago, this gap has been closed. She has single-handedly established a network with the refugees and I admire her so much for it
My medical volunteer trips to Haiti played a large role on my decision to practice osteopathic medicine. The medical trip was the initiation of a medical organization name “Heart in Hand”. My interaction with the locals in the province of “Cotes-de-fer” and “Grand Goave” were very rewarding in the aspect of giving back through medicine. I believe in volunteerism for the less fortunate, I also believe that a healthier person have a better shot at improving their lives more so than a sick person. While medicine will allow me as physician to care for someone who cannot care for their selves, I believe the “Heart in Hand” organization will help the individual who cannot afford a
