Our Work

 

In 2009 we donated two thousand pounds of hospital linen, infant warmers, gurneese, and miscellaneous hospital supplies to Cornwall Regional Hospital, located in Montego Bay, Jamaica.

 

In 2013 we completed our first Mission to Black River, Jamaica.

In that same year we began a five year partnership with Black River Hospital.

 

In 2014 we expanded our partnership to the entire St. Elisabeth parrish of Jamaica.

 

 

On August 16-23rd 2014 we are going back to Black River.  We look forward to seeing you there.

We believe that everyone deserves quality health care. No matter where you reside, your health should never be compromised. The reality is that in many developed and developing nations if you are indigent the healthcare services received are often compromised. There are many contributing factors and the major hindrance is money. We are working to eliminate this barrier to improve the health systems, institutions, families, individuals, and most importantly the future. 

The purpose of the foundation is to meet the immediate needs. Imagine if the local hospital or clinic did not have enough bed linen, dietary supplements, infusion pumps and clothes for children. This is something most individuals would not question. In developing countries, these are the types of items that are needed and a barrier that impedes the delivery of healthcare. We believe by providing the necessary supplies and equipment at no cost we are therefore removing the barrier of inequality in health care delivery. This will address an immediate need. We want to do something about this. Our foundation wants to put actions behind our words. We want to be a bridge to healthcare delivery.
