Story
Hi everyone!
Many of you know that I went on a medical mission trip last year, at pretty short notice. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made and is now a cause very close to my heart.
In April, I'm heading back to the Philippines with a group of incredible doctors, dentists, optometrists and non-medical volunteers to provide vital healthcare services to those less fortunate. In partnership with two local churches, we will team up with local volunteers to operate two pro-bono medical clinics in two impoverished areas in Manila. Last year, the team treated more than 2,000 patients in just 4 days! This year, we are hoping to raise $30,000 to bring first-class healthcare to this community.
So where will your donation go?
All of the funds raised will go towards the purchase of medicines, glasses, wound dressings, medical equipment and hospital admissions for certain patients (in the event of a serious illness). All the volunteers are donating their time/sweat/energy and are covering their own costs - so 100% of your donation will directly benefit the people in need!! Last year, you guys (my friends and family) funded over $1,000 towards the medical mission, and I think we can do it again.
Thank you for being part of this! Your generosity will have a direct impact on lives in Manilla. I'm so excited! I can't wait to be on the ground, working hard and witnessing God's goodness unfold. If you would like to be kept up to date while we are on the trip, like our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/fgampmmt/) for daily vlogs and photos of the work we will we doing.
Donations made through this platform are secure and will be remitted directly through to FGAM to fund vital supplies/equipment.

ABOUT THE PHILIPPINES MEDICAL MISSION TRIP
FGA Melbourne organises a yearly medical mission to provide medical attention and optical services to the people of Pasig and Caloocan in Philippines for FREE. Our volunteer doctors, dentists, optometrists and mission members pay their own way for the trip and cover their own local costs, enabling 100% of funds raised to be directed to the work of the mission.
The poorest Filipino family earns an average income of about AUD5 daily. Expenses for food account for two-thirds of a family of five’s expenditures, followed by expenditure for electricity, water and other fuels. Healthcare in Philippines has yet to be free or subsidized. Thus, for the sick to seek medical help it is the least of their priorities. So for some, going to a doctor would mean having to forgo breakfast, lunch or dinner for a day, two days or a week. It would mean borrowing money from another relative, whom they can never repay. Or work a few more shifts in a factory to buy medication or pay the hospital bills. If you are the breadwinner of the family, falling sick would mean your children will have no food on the table when they’re hungry. Therefore many people wait until they are at their final stages of illness before going to the hospital. Some never recover from their illnesses.
This coming April, FGA Melbourne will run their 6th annual medical mission trip to provide medical,dental attention and optical services to the people of Pasig and Caloocan in Philippines for FREE. However, we cannot do this on our own. We are hoping to raise $15,000 by the 22nd of April to set up mobile clinics, and your contribution will go to buying medication and other essential supplies for them.
Partner with us and we will bring your love to the people of Philippines at our own expenses.
Your simple contribution will go a long long way.
From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank you for your heart of giving and for blessing the people of Philippines.
