A dream come true...

One of our dreams when we started H(e)arts 4 Guatemala is was partner with organizations who we can encourage and support to work in Chiquimula, Guatemala which is Mason's hometown and has a piece of our h(e)art.

This weekend - was like a realization of a dream! 

Here are the players:

H(e)arts4Guatemala
Medshare
Caring Crew
Habitat for Humanity Guatemala
Las Marisas in Guatemala City
Hope Worldwide Guatemala

And here is how it all came together:

• Hearts 4 Guatemala raised money to purchase the medical supplies needed for our summer clinic.  We purchased these from --->

• Medshare who receives unused medical supplies and makes them available for medical mission trips and we learned of them through Caring Crew---->

• Caring Crew generously helped cover the cost of some of the supplies, picked them up from MedShare, secured donated suitcases to pack the supplies and agreed to travel with us to deliver them.   Caring Crew is a nonprofit founded by airline employees who donate their time and flight benefits to carry medical supplies all over the world for medical mission trips (among many other events!)  --->

• Caring Crew + Hearts 4 Guatemala traveled together to bring #175 pounds of medical supplies to the Hope Worldwide Guatemala team who will be running our mobile medical clinic in Chiquimula this summer.  --->

• We also were able to meet and coordinate some construction projects between Habitat for Humanity, Caring Crew, and Las Marisas

Little by little or “Poco a Poco” it is all coming together!

38 more days until we are there again…
