About this Fundraiser

Hi everyone! 

I have the exciting opportunity to serve as an intern with Preemptive Love Coalition this summer. Based in Sulaymaniyah, Iraq, PLC provides training for Iraqi doctors and nurses to perform lifesaving heart surgeries for Iraqi children born with heart defects. While I won't perform these surgeries, I will help make them possible through my behind-the-scenes work in their office in Iraq. Some of my duties will include producing videos that tell the stories of the people PLC serves, exploring life cross-culturally in the northern city of Sulaymaniyah, and potentially conducting video interviews with internally displaced people in Kurdish refugee camps.

I started a fundraiser on Pure Charity to raise the funding that I need for the trip. I need to raise $4,500 by March, 31. $2,000 of that, which will go towards international airfare, must be raised by February 28th so PLC can purchase my plane tickets. It's been my dream to go and serve in the Middle East, and I hope that you will consider being part of this opportunity with me.

Every donation is important and will enable me to be present and help others in need. Would you consider making a donation? Also, I would appreciate your willingness to share this with others who may want to participate.

Thank you so much for being a part of my life and helping me accomplish something that's important to me and to the children of Iraq!
