VIDA supplied four students travelling from Oakland for a one week medical mission to Santiago. The students who are studying at Samuel Merritt University School of Podiatry will be volunteering at various small clinics in the cities most impoverished neighborhood. VIDA supplied the students with a range of podiatric and medical supplies to treat patients issues related to the foot, ankle and lower extremities. This includes supports, braces and wraps that can help alleviate years of patient suffering. Also, the students will be carrying six artificial legs that will be donated to an appropriate facility that can properly fit the patients.
VIDA is in the process of fundraising for a 40' container to be sent to our long-time partner FEDES which works throughout greater Santiago.
Your continued support makes our mission possible!
