On February 4 through 8 in 2019, the Phoenix Asian American Lions club is embarked on a week-long humanitarian mission to Camarines Norte in the Philippines. The team consists of about 12-14 American and Filipino doctors, nurses and volunteers. Our goals for this much desperately needed are:
- Offer free surgical care consisting of major surguries such as hysterectomy, thyroidectomy, mastectomy, hernia removal, cleft lip repair, and other surgeries. Major surguries in the Philippines cost $20,000 Philippine Pesos or more or more than $400 U.S.
- Blood letting to provide blood products if needed for major surguries
- Vision screenings and distribution of up to 8,000 eye glasses.
- Distribution of school supplies and slippers to indigent children.
The recipients of the above services are Filipionos who have very minimal or no insurance. Most of the targeted recipients are surviving on a $2 per day income for a family of six. They rely on humanitarian missions such as ours for their much needed surgeries.
The volunteers from the Phoenix Asian American Lions club are paying their own airfare, the one-way 8-hour bus travel to the mission site and back as well as their meals and accommodations. We are seeking financial support to help us secure additional medical supplies for this endeavor. We are collaborating with a local non-profit organization, The 3000 Club, with a 501(c)3 status EIN#27-3295358 for donations and medical supplies, however, we are in need of more support from caring people like you. Any leftover supplies will be donated to the local hospital.
We sincerely hope that you will consider donating. Please make your check payable to The 3000 Club and mail to:
The 3000 Club, c/o Ethel Luzario 1741 W. Rose Garden Lane, Suite 6, Phoenix, AZ 85027. We will provide a receipt for your donation for tax purposes.
We will be posting our mission report her including photos and stories
Thank you for all of your prayers and support!
