A Little About Us...

Our club, Thrive Initiative, was created in 2012 after a group of physical therapy students decided that they wanted to make a difference not only here in the US, but all over the world. We send students to different countries on PT medical mission trips. This year student groups will travel to Haiti (2), Panama, and Kentucky to help with a wide variety of patients from:

Children with birth defects, genetic disorders, and amputations
Adults who have experienced a stroke, low back pain, or various injuries associated with natural disasters.

What are WE doing?

This group of students will be traveling to Panama City, Panama..

Working with a Ministery to start up and open a Special Needs Orphanage
Providing education to the caregivers on proper transfer techniques, health care, and the importance of movement and exercises for these children
Work with children at other local orphanages
Help create a program for individual children

How YOU can Help!...

Keep our mission teams and the people of the different countries in your thoughts and prayers
Any monitary donation you could contribute would be greatly appreciated
Ask people you may know to get involved in our campaign by using the Indiegogo share tools, or like us on Facebook, or follow us on twitter!

Where is YOUR Money Going?

No worries your money will be used only for funding this trip…

Airfare to Panama City, Panama
School Supplies for Children
Housing Costs
Food Costs
Transportation Costs
Other Supplies for the Orphanage

We also would like to state that we made a low goal because of additional fees the site charges you if you do not reach this goal. We wish to far exceed this goal to help open this orphanage!

The Lasting Impact…

We plan to sustain and continue to provide support for this orphanage in Panama by returning on a yearly or six-month basis.
Any money raised that is over the amount of our trip will go to the next trip for when we return to this orphanage (expected to be August 2014).
We hope to create support for the children and care for them that the care-takers will have the ability and education to provide.
Our goal is to provide an improved quality of life for all of the children in this orphanage.

Thank YOU for all of your interest and support it is greatly appreciated!
