3 RN's traveling to Haiti to work in 40 to 1 pt/nurse ratio

U.S.A. Nevada

hello!! my uncle is traveling to haiti on march 13th on his own dime, time, with no pay; to work out of a clinic on the border of the dominican republic with a nurse/patient ratio of 40 to 1. these patients have traumatic amputations and other injuries with no antibiotics x two week with horrific infections and severe pain.

he needs help with anything you can give-- if we all give $5-$20 dollars each what a difference that would make! while he is not being paid, his hospital is supporting his group; he has access to purchase and transport antibiotics as well as much needed medical supplies but they need to pay for food, medical supplies, extra luggage and the transport of all equiptment and supplies.

this is not tax deductable; this is all out his own pocket and contributions from family and friends.

he will be keeping all of you updated on facebook with photos and verbal updates as often as possible as his patient ratio allows.

upon return he will send everyone who wishes an accounting of the funds contributed.

please keep them in your thoughts and prayers! i am still a nursing student and i am so jealous that i cannot go along with him to help. he and his group just bought their airline tickets this week!

please go to facebook and look up tracey cearley

he has this account just for this trip.

thank you.
