2024 Giving Campaign!
2024 Giving Campaign
Help us reach our 2024 goal of 200 monthly supporters!
Our monthly sponsors are the backbone of the organization and a vital piece of the Pray - Give - Go pillars of our philosophy. They allow us to financially plan our clinics on an annual basis and provide the essential safety checks to our aircraft.
We are asking those who feel called to partner with us and pledge to become a new monthly sponsor. We have five levels that we pray you will consider with added Thank You gifts at each level.
Our Mission is to compassionately connect people in need with hope, help, and healing. We do this either through the air or on the ground, both locally and internationally.
Your giving has 4 major areas of impact this year:
1. SURGICAL MICROSCOPE
Please consider partnering with us this Giving Tuesday. We are “focusing” on raising $16,200 to purchase a new microscope for eye surgeries! We perform over 120 eye surgeries per year in multiple areas in Mexico at no cost to our patients. During our September 2024 eye clinic, one of our microscopes needed for cataract surgeries broke down and needed repair. However because of its age, it is more economical to purchase a new one. The cost is $16,200 after a discount. These eye surgeries are life-changing, not just for the people who receive these surgeries, but also for their entire families. Many of our patients are completely blind due to cataracts. In this area, there is no money for caregivers. Consequently, children quit school, or adult children quit work to take care of their blind family members. Once sight has been restored, family members can return to school or work, while the formerly blind members become self-sufficient. Eye surgeries in this area of the world truly impact generations. Thank you for considering partnering with us this year.

2. AIRCRAFT UPGRADES AND MAINTENANCE
While our aircraft are airworthy, their current aviation electronics (left image) are in legitimate need of modernization (right image) to better ensure safety in marginal weather, at night, and in remote locations. Upgrades will also maximize performance, allowing for greater fuel efficiency with the installation of GPS and auto-pilots and digital engine monitors.

3. PLANTING HOPE
The first is building a two-story school house for Angelina's after-school program, called PLANTING HOPE. There will also be a kitchen where the kids will learn about nutrition and cooking healthy meals! The bottom floor will be made from cement blocks and the upper lever out of lumber. For several years, Angelina has already been teaching at risk children how to read and write and provides a safe place for them with after school tudoring, snacks, and games. This is her deepest passion and we are honored to be a part of what God is doing through in San Quintin. Ground work and rough grading has begun while we raise funds for its completion! What to be a part of changing lives? Pray! Give! Go!

4. THE HUICHOL INDIGENOUS PEOPLE GROUP
The indigenous Huichol or Wixárika People have lived in the mountains of Central Mexico for several hundred years. Currently, there are over 200 villages of various sizes in the very rugged and isolated region. Due to poverty and the remoteness of the communities, there is limited or no access to medical, dental, or optical care. People suffer from high rates of diabetes, chronic pain, and hypertension, leading to preventable vision loss, nerve damage, and cardiovascular diseases. We bring medical teams to give treatment to those living in these villages. We also ask how we can pray for each of the patients and spend time playing games, sports, and doing crafts with the community.
