Our #LoveForMexico grows every day.
Relevant Facts
One year ago, in April, we embarked on one of the most crucial and thrilling missions of our association: to conduct free medical care days in the most vulnerable communities of two new states of Mexico: Puebla and Tlaxcala.
May was a hard month for communities surrounding the Popocatepetl. Our mission was to stand by those who needed us the most, and at that time, we worked to provide medical consultations, preventive measures, supplies, and medications to people susceptible to illnesses due to the volcanic ashfall.
The ashfall had left its impact on many families, and we were committed to providing them with the care and support they deserved. Our team of professionals was on the ground, delivering specialized medical care, education on preventive measures, and assistance to ensure the safety and well-being of all.
Thanks to your valuable support from volunteers, donors, sponsors, and collaborators, we have been able to provide medical care to thousands of people who, otherwise, would not have access to it.
In July, the rainy season always comes with an unwelcome guest, the infected mosquito that causes dengue fever. In the face of this, we must be vigilant for our personal care and that of our community. We recommend not allowing stagnant water in buckets, flowerpots, or containers, covering water storage, and preventing garbage accumulation.
Our Impact in these four months
We remain steadfast in our commitment to providing medical care to the most underserved communities through our Free Medical Care Days.
Thank you! Through the collaborative efforts of volunteers and dedicated individuals like you, we have successfully provided medical and dental care, along with free medications and health-promoting workshops, to a total of 72,850 individuals in the past four months.
