We are seven Doctor of Physical Therapy students who will travel to the Dominican Republic March 1-7, 2015 to participate in a short-term service-learning trip. We will see patients at a rural medical clinic and do home visits in order to provide much-needed physical therapy treatment to individuals in this community. We would be so thankful for your support.

By helping to underwrite this trip:

  • You are becoming an active participant in a community of care that extends further than any of us can know. By supporting us in our efforts, you help us to pay forward the benefits of our education.
  • You are providing us with an opportunity to work under the guidance of qualified instructors and medical personnel with real patients who need physical therapy.
  • You are supporting a clinical experience that is contributing to our development as skilled clinicians and educators. Therein, you are a partner in our education.

In order to provide an optimal level of care, it is our hope to raise funds for the following expenses:

  • Medical supplies: $1000
  • Transportation costs: $400
  • Excess baggage charges for the supplies we will bring to each location: $75-$100 per bag
  • Funds to pay for the self-reported needs of members of the community. In the past these have included hand sanitizer, infant/child blood pressure cuffs, personal protective equipment (i.e. latex gloves), vitamins, etc.

We have already made a commitment to fundraising for our trip through bake sales, t-shirt sales, and other smaller scale events. It is through this website that we are reaching out to our family, friends, and community and asking for further financial support. We are setting a minimum goal for our Indiegogo campaign of $2,500.

If you would please consider a contribution—in any amount—we would be grateful for your help. You will have the satisfaction of helping provide physical therapy students with a wealth of real-world clinical experience and making a difference in a community that needs your help.

Our campaign will run until February 24th. We thank you very much for your consideration and your support!
