My name is Heather and I go on an annual mission trip to San Miguel, Mexico where we perform orthopedic surgery for children that otherwise would not be able to have it done.
Cerebral palsy, club feet, hip dysplasia, and spina bifida are some of the disorders we see. we go for 8 days and operate for 4-5 very full, long days.
Other days are spent in the makeshift clinic. Much of the apparel we take down there, scrubs, shoes, etc. we donate to the hospital staff in Mexico that help organize the trip, feed us, and allow us to stay in their homes.
It's an amazing trip and I loved taking some of your hats for both the mission crew and the local people. The scrub caps were awesome, the Kids First crew loved them and so did the hospital staff from San Miguel.
The Kids First mission trip to San Miguel Mexico was an absolute success! We performed 67 surgeries in 4 days!!
